> Elon Musk, the boss of SpaceX, fired back: "SpaceX is moving like lightning compared to the rest of the space industry. Moreover, Starship will end up doing the whole Moon mission. Mark my words."

Still marking his words on self-driving vehicles so I guess we can add this to the list. What’s the casualty count so far on that one btw?

You need to keep two things in your mind at the same time:

Elon Musk sometimes say things that are true.

Elon Must sometimes say things that are not true.

In this case, it's the first one.

He has often said things that are true, provided you ignore the ten to twenty times he said something else about the same subject with equal confidence. He is a master of goalpost relocation. Ask any Cybertruck owner. He shipped it, but was it the Cybertruck he promised?
