And soon self drive will also work on Mars. Tesla and SpaceX are now joint at the hip.

Tesla cars can't even self drive properly on Earth.

Mind you, Mars doesn't have road signs so it's likely easier to pass as a threshold.

I gotta give Musk credit. I continue to think his grift has reached the end of the road, and I'm always shocked at how credulously the market follows him onto the next grift while immediately forgetting the prior one.

The market is far more naive and credulous than I anticipated, and Musk seems to understand much better than I just how fucking moronic most market participants are.

Since he's now being seen as a conservative, he is now adding into Christian elements to his grift. Expect to see him get even more mystical now

Yeah but what racists don't understand is that the golden age of white folks is over.

Outnumbered and increasingly outspent.

No it's not, it's a car company. It may be moving to robots, but for companies to survive they require products and profits, neither of which seem to be real when it comes to Optimus. According to Musk commercial sales may begin in 2027 with wider consumer availability in 2028. I don't know about you, but when I hear Elon Musk state that something will be real in 2 years I don't believe it at all. This is the exact same playbook with FSD, Mars, etc.

They are being sarcastic.

Poe's Law applies here. Especially on HN, especially with respect to Musk. There are a disturbing number of people here who have fully bought into his lies.

> teleportation, immortality and invisibility

> colonising Mars

Are there any known examples of Musk cult members being successfully deprogrammed? I know there are a couple examples of hardcore MAGA people seeing the light.
