Elon Musk's missed promises

 1. Full Self-Driving Cars (2016 – Present)

The Promise: In 2016, Musk boldly claimed that Tesla vehicles would be fully self-driving within a year, capable of autonomously driving from Los Angeles to New York with no human intervention.

The Reality: Nearly a decade later, Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving” (FSD) still requires human oversight and is riddled with safety concerns. Countless missed deadlines and legal issues have raised questions about whether Tesla will ever achieve true Level 5 autonomy.

Broken Promise: Tesla still hasn’t delivered a fully autonomous vehicle, despite charging customers thousands for FSD.

2. The Cybertruck (2019 – 2023)

The Promise: When Musk unveiled the Cybertruck in 2019, he claimed it would be bulletproof, tow more than a Ford F-150, and revolutionize the pickup market—all by 2021.

The Reality: The truck was repeatedly delayed, and when it finally arrived in 2023, it lacked many of its promised features. The so-called “bulletproof” windows shattered during its reveal, and the final product was more expensive and less powerful than expected.

Broken Promise: The Cybertruck was years late and didn’t live up to Musk’s grand claims.

3. Colonizing Mars (2016 – ???)

The Promise: Musk has repeatedly declared that SpaceX will put humans on Mars by the mid-2020s. In 2016, he claimed that the first manned mission would happen by 2024, paving the way for a full colony.

The Reality: With just a year past 2025, no one is even close to stepping foot on Mars. SpaceX has made progress with its Starship program, but massive technical and financial hurdles remain.

Broken Promise: A human Mars colony is still a distant dream, with no realistic timeline in sight.

4. The $35,000 Tesla Model 3 (2016 – 2019)

The Promise: Musk vowed that Tesla would produce an affordable, mass-market Model 3 priced at just $35,000 to make electric cars accessible to everyone.

The Reality: While Tesla briefly offered a stripped-down version for $35,000 in 2019, it was nearly impossible to buy. The company quickly discontinued it, replacing it with pricier models.

Broken Promise: The so-called “affordable” Model 3 never truly existed for the average consumer.

5. The Hyperloop (2013 – Abandoned)

The Promise: Musk proposed the Hyperloop, a revolutionary high-speed transportation system that would send passengers through vacuum tubes at over 700 mph. He suggested it would be operational in just a few years.

The Reality: A decade later, not a single functional Hyperloop system exists. Even Musk himself seems to have abandoned the idea, selling off Hyperloop tunnels and shifting focus to other projects.

Broken Promise: The Hyperloop was all hype—and no loop.

6. The Robotaxi Revolution (2019 – Present)

The Promise: Musk announced in 2019 that Tesla would have one million robotaxis on the road by 2020, revolutionizing ride-sharing and eliminating the need for human drivers.

The Reality: No Tesla robotaxis exist, and autonomous driving technology is still far from replacing human drivers. Meanwhile, competitors like Waymo and Cruise have surpassed Tesla in self-driving capabilities.

7. The Neuralink Brain Chip (2020 – Present)

The Promise: Musk’s brain-interface company, Neuralink, claimed it would begin human trials by 2020, allowing people to control devices with their thoughts. He even suggested the technology could cure paralysis and enhance human intelligence.

The Reality: Neuralink has faced delays, safety concerns, and regulatory roadblocks. Human trials only began in 2024, and the ambitious claims remain far from reality.

Broken Promise: Neuralink is still in its infancy, and its groundbreaking capabilities remain unproven.

Tax evading Billionare

Fascist Double-Speak 101. we saw it with the whole George Soros thing, they turned his philanthropy into some dark conspiracy to control the world, with Elon it's just, you can't tax the Billionaires, because we create jobs, mostly because it's cheaper to just try and buy a government then pay your share.

Elon Musk is everything the right swore George Soros was except it’s actually all true and also, republicans are totally fine with it since it benefits them 

The biggest fear of billionaires is that people wake up and realize who is creating inflation, which is mostly billionaires creating money through loans, because they own the most wealth, so they can backstop the creation of new money and be poor and leveraged to the hilt on paper, but rich in practice.

A billionaire can always create liquidity by taking out loans on their assets to pay their taxes. However, it only makes sense to go further and tax those loans at the top marginal tax rates for poor SOBS who get paid in dollars, like doctors, lawyers, and fry cooks.

Larry Ellison has never sold much of his ORCL stock in his life, though he may have to soon, finger crossed, but he managed to buy news and cable networks, a movie studio, yachts, and a Hawaiian island by living through and endless line of subsidiary companies and shells that he twists to his whim.

RIP Colbert for making fun of billionaires, as pre-firing him may have been a condition for the deal to go through. Trump certainly cared a great deal about WHO was given privilege to buy and gut 4th-estate assets.

Billionaries are a massive tax on the public good, but if their tax-evading loans are taxed, then there is more of a market to people who need loans to buy a car or a house, as the money of plebs will matter again, and real-wage income losses will slow.

Right now, they are borrowing money and creating inflation in the hopes that they can replace your job with an agent.

We all saw what happened in January 6th

 Trump Warns America Will Burn if Republicans Lose This Election

President Trump is claiming that the U.S. will burn like France if Democrats triumph in November’s midterm elections.

At a rally in Park City, Kansas, Tuesday, Trump referenced the student protests in France, using anti-immigrant bigotry and Islamophobia to try and scare Republicans into turning out over the next two weeks.

That's only because trump will light the match if his side loses.

We know what the play is going to be- they're going to send people to the capital on January 3rd to stop the swearing in.

If Democrats win in the election, we are going to need to protect the candidates from November to January 3rd. On January 3rd, we need to be prepared for another January 6th esq mob. Democrats in Republican states will be in the most danger- they'll be banking on Republican state governments appointing Republican candidates. We can expect little to no federal help there.

But Americans can make it very difficult to hurt candidates before they're sworn in. We can make sure supporters are at the capital on January 3rd to counter potential mobs. 

There have already been released communication of Trump advisors taking about using the Insurrection Act in states where he loses, suspend habeas corpus, and declare martial law.

That doesn't hold up legally to any law or the Constitution but as long as no one stops him would that really matter?

Ever notice how the entire Republican Party’s platform is fear, hatred, and racism? When is the last time you heard an uplifting, uniting everyone together message from a Republican?

Agent Krasnov doing what he was supposed to do

 Trump Signs Order Exempting Russia From Sanctions Law

President Trump signed an executive order on Friday night exempting Russia from a new sanctions measure that Congress passed last month, offering another economic lifeline to Russian President Vladimir V. Putin as the United States turns to Russia for help in lowering gas prices.

The sanctions were intended to target Russian officials, oligarchs and financial institutions, and were part of a law that was named after Senator Lindsey Graham, the South Carolina Republican who died in July after spending more than a year building support for the measure.

 Everything Trump does makes sense once you realize he is a Russian asset. 

They could reveal that Trump has been propped up entirely by dirty Russian money and without that corruption he would be dead broke. To Trump his wealth is the cornerstone of his personality, and threats to his internal story of being a successful businessman are one of the things he just cannot tolerate. It would be devastating to his ego to be revealed as a fraud and therefore Russia will always hold power over him. And the pee pee tapes.

Ukraine hitting Yandex data centers is limiting Russia bot army, which would limit their social media attacks. Which would limit how much disinformation they can spread now online. And Ukraine has said they will continue hitting the data centers.

Russia and US May Announce Joint Data Center Projects, Kremlin Envoy Says

Among the proposals being explored is the potential use of capacity from Russian nuclear power plants to support these data infrastructure initiatives.

Previously, US President Donald Trump announced that he had held a discussion with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, during which the two agreed on significant Russian diesel fuel shipments to American and global markets.

Under the arrangement, Russia was set to deliver over 300,000 tons of diesel immediately, followed by an additional 500,000 tons in November and 1 million tons shortly after, with plans to eventually supply 3 million tons as refinery conditions permitted.

Trump emphasized that these energy shipments, combined with full control over the Strait of Hormuz, would rapidly drive diesel prices down to record lows worldwide.

Seriously, America what is it going to take before you realize that the president is a Russian asset and that you need to do something? 

Don’t even need to guess what party he’s affiliated with

 Ex-Florida congressman Matt Gaetz doxes women who accused him of sex trafficking

Two women have filed a federal civil lawsuit accusing former Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz and two others of participating in an alleged sex trafficking scheme involving young women, drugs and traveling across state lines. The allegations are the latest chapter in Gaetz’s high-profile sex scandal that ultimately derailed his nomination by President Trump as U.S. Attorney General and also led him to resign from Congress in 2024. His departure came as a bi-partisian House Ethics Committee was in the final stages of an investigation into his alleged misconduct.

 Again. Accused of sex trafficking again. 

The only reason this piece of shit is even walking free is because Merrick Garland was too chicken shit to charge him despite all the evidence against him.

Remember this guy was nominated to be the Attorney General of the United States.

He is republican, this should be expected.

Nothing Republicans love more than having their way with kids.

Trump's very first AG pick by the way.

Knew he had dirt on him, which makes him controllable. 

Which is why they only released the Trumpstein files. 

Trump has kompramat on them all. 

Fixing the everything that is broken but your party has been in control over 30 years

 

Reminder that Abbott is the idiot who was so convinced that 1200 US Army soldiers were going to invade, conquer and occupy Texas like it was France for the glory of Obama, that he mobilized the Texas State guard.

Jade Helm 15 was a large U.S. Special Operations Command training exercise scheduled for July–September 2015 across several southwestern states. It involved Green Berets, Navy SEALs, Air Force special operations personnel and others. A leaked/public training map designated Texas and Utah as “hostile” territory for purposes of the simulation.

That spawned a remarkably elaborate conspiracy theory: the Obama administration was supposedly using Jade Helm as cover to impose martial law, confiscate guns, arrest political opponents, and/or occupy Texas. One version incorporated recently closed Walmart stores, allegedly connected by secret tunnels and intended as detention centres.

Also told a town who wanted to save money by not giving israel their tax dollars they would no longer receive funding if they did so.

Yes. Republican voters are stupid and the gop knows this and exploits it.

Texas is and has been a shithole for a long time. It’s what happens when unfettered government corruption is allowed, a monument to our sins. Toll roads, high property taxes, high obesity rates, high utility rates, propaganda about how great Texas is. I’m from Dallas and left years ago. The ONLY things I miss are the Mavericks, BBQ and big booty Latina qtpies.

“For more than a decade, the two West Texas oil and gas moguls have used their fortunes to finance an ideological crusade to oust the torchbearers of the party establishment and install champions of their far-right, theocratic agenda.”

“You’ve got now megabillionaires in this state. We always had wealthy people, but nothing like these guys, all of whom have think tanks and foundations and lobbyists, and they’re all over the place and they’re keeping scorecards on the Republicans, which really—what’s the right word?—intimidates the Republicans from voting freely in the interests of their districts—and they will admit that off the record—because they don’t want to be targeted by these guys. I’m talking about [Midland oilman Tim] Dunn, these Wilks brothers, all those guys. We never had anything like that in those days.“

“Billionaires here are funding right-wing politicians to knock down barriers between church and state.”

“This is bigger than party. This is bigger than partisanship. Texas is too big and too great to be sold to the highest bidder. We cannot allow two billionaires to transform our beloved state into a theocracy.

We have to stop them.”
