for those who don’t want to bother: out of 37 predictions, 2 were met, 4 were partially met, 3 haven’t happened yet, and 28 weren’t met
and the two that were met were about when the robotaxi and cybercab would be on sale and start production, respectively. they were both predicted very shortly before they were stated to happen (respectively literally the same month and 4 months after). lmao
He and Trump (and probably Sam Altman/other LLM CEOs) succeeded by just lying about every but because of their status people believe them and nobody seems to call them out.
This decade's robotaxi stuff is very slow progress too. AFAIK, they still follow the robotaxis with a backup remote control driver. Few markets and few cars.

Hmm feels weird that it's real. I thought wikipedia was super fussy about citing without sources? Or are they there?

Citations/References are there. They are further to the left, so seem to have been cropped from the posted photo

Lying constantly is a big part of his business strategy. Keeps the investors happy.

A while ago, they had “safety drivers” inside the robotaxis that could take over if the auto drive malfunctioned. Congrats Elon, you invented a taxi.
