Fools will believe. Only 5 months till nothing! Pending approvals. That is his out or failsafe
At least half the country is close enough to an airport that they can fly to Austin, right?
When you look at the population data for the US you probably can cover half the population with targeting 4-5 major cities. Assuming of course you cover the whole city and its burbs rather than a relatively small cock and balls outline. Edit. Just looked it up. 39 metro areas.
By end of the year? What year? 2045?
While I loathe Trump, if he wanted to destroy Musk, fast tracking his approval in all those cities and then complaining incessantly that none of Musks promises work and that everything of value in his companies was created by smarter people, would be the surest to destroy him. Crush Elon between the Right Wing Trumpist Cult and the Left Wing he betrayed. But I suspect Trump still thinks he needs Elon for something.

My guess, let end owners run their own taxi service with supervised FSD, owners doing the supervision.
If there's one thing you can say about Musk, it's that he has no compunction about committing to the big lie.
He’s in a contest w Trump to see whose lies can garner the most media attention & how many in the herd of boths’ cults might actually believe them.
Exactly what President Jared from Subway would say if he was running a public company.
Bold face Lie!
No, Trump just can’t think two moves ahead.
While the US has dense urban areas, as your edit attests to, it's still a big country. 39 Metro areas? What is that, getting down into Cleveland territory in terms of metros? And he's going to do that in 5 months somehow...what a fucking joke.
Well, if you cannot sell your shit cars....
The fuck it will.
That's possible too.
Trump/Musk lie every time they speak. Pathological! How’s the SF approval doing?
Cover it with accidents, maybe.
I think when he uses the word "cover" he means he is predicting cars will run over half of the US population by year-end.
Article says that's 47 of the biggest cities. That's just around 2.5 cities a week. In their entirety. Easy.
Also, metro areas are much larger than cities. The Boston Metro area stretches into Rhode Island for example
There's no way half the population of the US will fit underneath Tesla's Robotaxis.
I was just doing the same. A little less than 150 counties spanning less than 5% of the area of the United States would cover it.
I was always advised to set expectations lower then exceed them - seems to be the opposite for Elon.
Amazing how many people can get away with just non-stop lying these days
I suspect they'll apply for taxi licenses and call it good.
Elon uses sexagenary zodiac cycles. We’re still on schedule for the unmanned cross country trip that started in 2012
Yeah but their jacket is silver
We have like 4 months left in the year, this dude still on drugs lol.
Project 2025, page 690 describes the new 3/50’s compromise
He’s barely in 1 metro. Has a fleet of like 30 cars lol.
Watch the stock take off on Monday... These freaking idiots.
huh thought it was brown-nose.
He's not even in a small percentage of one metro and not driverless and it is not working. Such a joke. The fact that many cannot see it destroys any hope I have in basic common sense.
Yeah ok time she will tell
>with a Tesla employee behind the wheel. In the passenger seat! It's totally different! /s
It's the Ketamine talking
Tru dat
Probably because the fools they are talking to are non-stop believing their crap.
with or without a monitor ? If with, that will create a huge amount of jobs
He didn't mention which universe/reality he's referring to. It's a YOU problem you assumed it to be this universe, ok?
Cover in blood?
He could send one of those cars and employees to 40 cities, rides available only by special invitation, in good daytime weather...presto, half population covered. Checkmate bears.
Lmfao
Even if he could roll that project out, huge numbers of us would never use it.
And he will drill a tunnel straight to Mars for the hyperloop.
If by "cover" he means: "sitting derelict on the side of the road everywhere" mabe?
Man, Elon should become a republican politician! /s
He was 4 years late on the cybertruck and look how great it is.
Hahahahahahahahahaya *breeeeeaath* hahahahahahah
I wonder what Tesla will pay taxi drivers to drive “RoboTaxis”. Think it’ll be hourly? Per ride?
I feel like he's trying to see how far he can lie. And somehow he found out there was no limits.
Those 12 robotaxis are going to be very busy.
I agree! At least so far. I think he’s running out of room as far as kicking the can is coming to the end of the road
rustic price vase attempt automatic sable sharp middle nose gold *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev/home)*
And when he says „US-population“ he means straight, white billionaires and their straight, white kids. So this time it’s actually plausible.
Their only reason for speaking is to perpetuate untruths. To them, it is the sole purpose of speech.
The real question: Is Dan Ives repeating this nonsense?
The other Half is security watch?
lol. And the stock will go up too.
That actually makes some sense; handful of private individuals running cars part time in every fully mapped areas would tick the box. Though if the owner is in the car, isn't that just a less popular Uber competitor? And owners competing with people running the cheapest possible solution optimized for ride share services. Tesla stockprice depends on services like FSD rideshare being wildly popular generating billions in profit. I can't see that happening quickly. Note sure about other competitors like Lyft, but Uber are already profitable, operate worldwide with number of well connected services like Uber Eats and if FSD becomes well proven then independent drivers/car lease companies focused on ride share, will just move into that space. How does that make billions for Tesla in the end?
That's a lot of people to run over. /s
Just last night, I saw an interview with a Trump supporter about why he thought Trump didn't release the Epstein files. The supporter said; *"Trump is a man of his word, and so I trust him to do the right thing"*. When you have people like that living in some alternative reality world, why not lie, as it clearly works in a society that no longer values the truth
People really need to start bursting out laughing in his face when he says shit like this.
If he says so 🤭😂🤣
How is this not illegal market manipuIation?
I’m giggling uncontrollably about Musk being forced to put up or shut up by something like this. Well except for all the corpses and destruction.
Dressed in a white gimp suit and called Optimus.
They will be given a raffle ticket for the daily “Suck Musk” event.
I feel like tesla is a social experiment on us
He promised a million Robotaxis in one year six years ago. He is a well-known liar at this point.
He has to lie so he doesn’t lose literally everything
Ew
Trump just needs Elon to not spill the pedobeans he has on him
The amount of environmental destruction to make that many cars….is horrendous
I call BS.
I now believe it is compulsive lying. I’ve dealt with a compulsive liar but she would try to spin excuses so it was never her fault when she was called out. Musk is only called out online, never by the press or in person, so he can just ignore it or block the person.
I’m willing to bet they won’t apply for licenses. Just start illegally driving as taxis.
I just had an interesting thought. What if he claims Uber and Lyft drivers using Tesla vehicles are part of his HumoTaxi service even though he isn’t collecting revenue. Or he pushes and update requiring a subscription to support driving in one area for more than 3 hours a day?
And that will not be available but to a fraction of the population and likely only fanboys.
Let’s see these things work in Minnesota in the winter.
I think it’s plausible there is a mutually assured destruction scenario. Elon has the dirt on Trump, but it would also implicate himself. There’s no other plausible reason he was given the level of access he had after the election.
it's not drugs, it's a calculated strategy to generate free publicity. And look at it working
amazing that after all these years of Trump and Elon, so many people haven't figured out that these guys say outrageous things on purpose... and when you get outraged, they win
That’s going to be millions of jobs? They’re gonna need a ton of safety people to sit in those cars
I mean when there is no accountability or repercussion, of course.
So…an electric taxi.
Oh no, he knows that RFK Jr. is going to kill 340 million Americans by the end of the year
Never will I ever even look inside of a tesla let alone get into one.
King jong un with a straight face: North Korea will be able to feed half of NK population by the end of the year
Sure, geographically. It will still only serve 35 hand selected “customers”.
He was donating tens of millions of dollars to Trump and other Republicans. I hate Trump but I think it sorta worked. People were focused on Doge, which took some of the heat off for immigration and other policies.
He cant think even one move
But he THINKS he's out here playing 4D chess while everyone else is playing checkers.
Live in reality he doesn't
Cover us with bs?
Here's your friendly reminder of the definition of a crime: Securities fraud, also known as stock fraud or investment fraud, is a serious white-collar crime that involves deceptive practices in the stock or commodities markets to induce investors to make decisions based on false information.
And those metro areas have ✨Metros✨ And also ✨Public Transit✨
They’re still in cahoots, I suspect. DOGE and spending cuts were all cover so Musk could terminate the investigations into him and his companies.
Cover, as in “over”?
Is it possible he actually believes the BS he spouts?
Let me be one of the 95%!
No, no it won’t
He also said Optimus will be like a 30 trillion business or some shit like that. Total delusion.
Cover? You mean under as ain run over by.
which year?
it's the very 1st thing he mentioned in his opening remarks on the Q2 2025 earnings call
Stonks to $4000
Elections fraud
If only there was a government agency tasked to regulate stock manipulation like this.
Trump doesn’t even know what city/state he is in.
I think he means any Tesla with the right hardware.
Get this man help
*pending approval
Or ask him to travel everywhere in the back of his own Tesla on FSD since he says it's so good. Let his son travel with him... show us how safe it is.
You’re off by one administration. That was Biden!!
I’m sorry. Please see a doctor and get evaluated. In case you forget, show this message to a loved one/caregiver. https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-forgets-city-during-iowa-224540652.html
Well, he really knows computers....and his doge kidz have all our data now.....one of whom posted to GitHub a few years back an experimental way to hack the election machines.....
No.
That is an eventual fantasy of Elon's but no way it's happening this year.
Maybe he is being optimistic, i don't know. They are expanding the test area, so the data so far must be ok.
😂
He is having a hard enough time getting Tesla owned robotaxi's working you think he can get Tesla owners working by the end of this year? Knowing Elon he will handpick 10 Tesla owners.
Why are they expanding the service area if it's not working?
Jfc. Sure. It won't even cover half of the degenerate state of Texas.
> Fools will believe. Only 5 months till nothing! Pending approvals. That is his out or failsafe Man, I want to try some of that Elon Ketamine... shit must be WILD!
Because Elon wants to make it look like he is making progress. And that he can draw a penis. They are still using safety drivers.
Stock price doubles
By “cover” does he mean run them down?
Over promise, never deliver as promised. (he lost me with "production hell", he is an amateur with a big mouth, like trumpf.
Apparently he thinks enough steps ahead to have won the presidential election in a ridiculous landslide and continues to push his agenda through. Probably not as smart as you, though.
He's just telling stories of moves he made in the '80s at this point.....
Me with a straight face: No. No it will not.
Wow is there going to be some cataclysm in the US that reduce population by 99.999% or something ?
Surprised he didn't say in two weeks.
Cover, as in *run ove*r?
This is stale news. Wasn’t this mentioned on the earnings call?
Lmfao
Musk could have focused on the top 50 metropolitan areas 10 years ago and that would have been 50% or more of the US population and 99% of his addressable market.
He and Trump have a lot in common with keeping their promises.
But half or more of the U.S. population can fly to those cars and then maybe get in one. Basically worldwide coverage, actually
This should be illegal - it sounds like misleading shareholders
everyone knows it all bullshit. at this point I think tesla stock is money laundering.
Full self owning in six months!
Dude says end of the year every year 😂
The only “move” he’s familiar with goes straight into his diaper.
😆 he on crack now?
He moved up from ketamine
Oh shit, they are planning on killing 99% of us before the end of the year.
Key word is cover. When it's running over people they are technically covered by Tesla.
He needs Elon to keep his secrets and keep away from the Republican Party as to not destroy both. Elon knows way more than anyone will ever know.
Cover in tire tracks maybe
Maybe he means Teslas will be covered by half of US population by end of the year. The slow ones anyway.
With Leon you have to ask specifics; he didn’t say the end of what year. It’s definitely not happening this year
Dude so use to the Musk fanboys eating the shit he shovels that he forget they are a tiny minority of the whole. Probably will goose the stock enough to make it worth saying.
The only way this becomes true is if he either kills or deports 99.99% of American population by year end.
I'll believe waymo can complete the mission. fsd ?LMAO
Did he mean "run over" and it came out as "cover" ?
Cover them in BS?
Well it is not working for me - I need that Billionaire title that makes people forget critical thinking.
They have so many inventory cars that they can start a taxi service with them.
If only the premise of Liar Liar (w/Jim Carey) could happen in real life. You couldn't pick a better subject than Elmo, except for the orangeman.
\**Guarantee only valid if Peter Theil's plan to have half the US population interred in Texas labour camps by Christmas goes ahead.*
He is a pathological liar. Just like Trump.
> ridiculous landslide Lol! >Probably not as smart as you, though. Ironic, coming from someone that doesn't know what a landslide win is. But you go ahead and let your mama tell you how smart you are.
Technically 1 car in each of those cities would service theoretically it's entire population
How is this guy not in jail for fraud
His quote was cut short. ...in ditches, scrap heaps, and burning on the side of the road.
Yikes
He needs his caddy to continually drop the golf ball to play golf.
The end of the year 2055?
Like. They’ll be under them? Or like, they’ll be able to get a ride?
With drivers.. so.. uber
Realistically he could give all Uber / Lyft drivers with Teslas free FSD while driving for the platform and define that as robotaxi
Cover in what?
Hammurabi does Roadworthiness Certification
Why is everyone moving to Austin?
Double down, heck, triple down, this guy always overpromises and underdelivers.
40% of the country chose to not vote for either side, trump only won by a small majority of the other 60%. There was no "landslide" victory, let alone a "ridiculous" one. Trump said live that he only won because Elon knows those voting computers like no one else, not a very smart comment to make at all.
I want to know what drugs he’s been taking to get such confidence.
and by "cover" he means "run over"
Half the US population will be covered in that they will be within a short 5 hour flight to Austin where they can take a beta ride in one of a dozen cars doing <200 miles/day. You know…Covered.
Didn’t he say by the end of next year? Still a wild timeline.
He also rightfully claimed Trump's a Pedo, while ignoring the fact his brother & him have the closest relationship to Epstein than anyone according to researchers.
He could not be more wrong, he lost my business in January, every penny business. His daddy don can hop in one🙄
When, O when will we stop taking this pretentious silver spoon trust baby as a serious person? He’s a walking catalog of mental health issues. Or here’s a better question: what is WRONG with our society that the most unstable, dishonorable, and straight-up terrible human beings find their way to the top of almost every institution? While the rest of us grovel at their feet because we have to eat and pay for a roof over our heads.
Half the population will never get in a Tesla robotaxi and the other half won't be covered.
Tgats why he needs Musk. So Musks hackers can steal another election.
Time for another Tesla stock Rally!??
Gotta do something with the unsold cars - call them the cyber taxi- hopefully the glue will hold. Most likely he’ll get a govt handout
I've wondered if Elon is grifting or mentally ill. I think this statement points towards mentally ill.
So he means they will be running over 50% of the people on sidewalks by December? Got it. Sounds like the kind of products Elmo makes.
😂
Hahahaha. Yea, sure thing elmo and katy perry is an astronaut.
Have any reporter asked him about his past lies about delivering a product?
His definition of robotaxi is a Model 3/Y using FSD with a driver in the seat If they give FSD to all the Uber drivers in the US that drive for Uber they can probably hit that metric nearly overnight
American people are seeking criminal charges against Elon Musk and his associates who illegally accessed our Social Security IRS and confidential Medical data. We want accountability.
And they dress up like Total Recall Johnny cab.[Johnny cab](https://www.speculativeidentities.com/public/assets/research/johnnycab/_researchMedium2x/Johnnycab_Main.jpg)
Then how'd he become the President of the United States twice when nobody thought it was remotely possible he could even win the Republican nomination once?
Yet somehow is the best/brightest that the US has to offer. Imagine how dumb the general population in the US must be.
Is this really your argument, that he confused Sioux City with Sioux Falls? New to politics I see.
You could say that every election.
Social media, no problem with contradicting lies, stupid people, and collective hate/racism/sexism And don’t forget a heavily edited reality TV show to make him look good And for the second time? I don’t know, but his statements “I don’t need your votes. We already have the votes” is mightily suspicious especially when you combine it with “Elon Musk knows these voting machines very well”
