ELON FANS WON'T LIKE THIS ONE... BUT HERE ARE 10 BIG THINGS ELON PROMISED THAT NEVER HAPPENED: The New York Times went through 15 years of his posts and interviews. He made 602 promises with a date on them. Only 1 in 5 happened on time. Here are some of them: 1. In 2015 he said Teslas would fully drive themselves in 2 or 3 years. 11 years later, you still have to keep your eyes on the road. 2. In 2016 he said a Tesla would drive itself from LA to New York by the end of 2017. It never did. 3. In 2019 he said there would be 1 million robotaxis by 2020. Today there's a small service in Austin. With a safety person sitting inside. 4. In 2017 he said the new Tesla Roadster would come out in 2020. They just showed it this month. Now it's coming in 2028. 5. For years he talked about a cheap $25,000 Tesla. Then he dropped it and called the idea "pointless." 6. In 2016 he said SpaceX would send a ship to Mars by 2018. Later he said people would be on Mars by 2024. Nobody has gone. Not even an empty rocket. 7. In 2013 he said Hyperloop would take you from LA to San Francisco in 35 minutes. What we got is Teslas driving through a tunnel in Las Vegas. 8. When he bought Twitter, he said a team would be set up before any big decisions on banned accounts. That team never showed up. 9. With DOGE he promised $2 trillion in government cuts. Studies found it saved almost nothing. 10. He said his AI company would build AI smarter than humans by 2025. Still waiting. Yes, he's also done crazy things. Rockets that land themselves. Starlink. Making electric cars normal. But even he admits he only expects to hit his deadlines about half the time. So today he posted that he'll give one SpaceX share to every kid in America next year. That's around 73 million kids. He hasn't said how. Or who gets it. Or who pays the tax. Save this post. We'll check back in 2028. Written by: @carlmoon
