10 cars, human safety driver, operating from 6-12, geofenced, dependent on ... weather, available for Tesla influencers only.

That's in 2025 folks. Tesla was supposed to have 1 million Robotaxis on the roads in 2020 or something. Also last year's pump included a carton car in a Hollywood studio that was supposed to be the Robotaxi... Anybody knows where are these cars 1 year later ?

It's absolutely mind blowing to me, that this guy became the richest person on this planet, by essentially selling vaporwave to gullible investors. (to be clear - Tesla is a real company, making real cars. But the real world valuation of that business is 1% of it's current capitalization. 99% of it is Musk's promises of the future)

The second richest guy sells overpriced handbags and booze.

Both are selling illusions. But only one has the funding of techno-authoritarans. Are the techno authoritarian investors gullible? Their limiteds sure are.

Hmmm... so if someone is riding in a Tesla Model Y robotaxi, grabs the wheel, and causes a crash... Tesla stock will get destroyed.

Note that the "safety driver" is actually in the passenger seat.
