>More than 60 fatalities have been linked to Tesla’s driver-assistance systems. Talk about something that could put a dent in your image! That seems pretty low? Driving is extremely dangerous.

> you see that he’s a creator of mirages who promises more than he delivers There is no doubt he has promised many things that have never been delivered, or delivered extremely late. He (his companies/teams) have also utterly changed the space launch landscape to the point of making the rest of the world irrelevant. Changed the energy market across the globe, delivered exceptional electric vehicles and (finally) put a car on the road for public use with no mirrors, steering wheel or pedals. The production line is also world leading, as stated by every auto CEO that has toured it. Does he over promise and exaggerate? Undoubtedly. But he does also deliver.

SpaceX is amazing, and he may receive due credit for the "vision" of pushing forward the state of the art in electric vehicles and rockets. We (society) often glosses over personal failings of popular figures. But given the level of outright lies he has funded in elections and how much money he has spent to get anti-democracy politicians in power in the US, one should not waver in their condemnation of the man's character.

That Musk dude needs a hobby.

3 hrs and 52 minutes of Musk. I didn't even want to sit in front of a screen for 2 hours for Bob Dylan, sheesh.

Between this and the Elizabeth Holmes one, just adding to the 'positive' Silicon Valley/tech/VC public marketing right now... /s ( Nathan Fielder's Elizabeth Holmes Doc Met with Shock and Awe at Secret Screening https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49613598 )
