Generously, Musk has never been serious about making predictions. When he says stuff like this he just means he's excited about it.
> When he says stuff like this he just means he's excited about it. That's an overly charitable interpretation of what he's doing. The pattern that I've observed is: 1) he's a narcissist who always wants to be in the news and/or 2) he's trying to distract from something. He can't stand it when the press moves on from him. His MO is to wait for a week or two and then throw out something outlandish to suck up the media…
ima guess most billionaires are narcissists. and this media oxygen stuff i mean it works right. to do able to get attention of the press and that many people is a only reserved for a very small amount of people on this earth.
