Musk is fucking nuts but he still is able to make other people do amazing things. He didn't need to lie multiple times about the Tesla truck to make it a success though...
That's the really curious thing: Model 3/Y is an objectively good EV. The software is vertically integrated and the most mature in the EV business, while VW has their CARIAD pants around their ankles. Why make wild claims about "Full Self Driving?"
I'll make a prediction about Starship: It will never be more economical than Falcon 9, and Mars colonies will not happen in this century and certainly not using Starship. A follow-on to Falcon 9 would have been more useful: A re-usable second stage, methalox engines, faster turnaround, etc.
If you are familiar with second system syndrome you might think Starship is a classic second system.
