It's getting closer to the point where he's considering himself The Creator.
Elon has always had a tendency to be optimistic (sometimes wildly) with his estimates, but I would NOT call him a liar. A liar says things he/she know to be false and in Elon's case, we don't know what's caused him to give timelines that don't line up with reality. It very well could be the faith and trust he has in his teams, only to find out their assumptions weren't correct so back to the drawing board (as in MobileEye and Lidar). Or in the case of both the Semi and the CyberTruck, the suppliers (or supplier) were late or the pressings took longer than anticipated or required a different type of metal. Regardless of this he has improved lately and I'm pretty damn confident that FSD will be widely released this quarter along with initial production of the Semi, with the CyberTruck starting production mid 2023 and mass production near year end. We all need to remember that Elon doesn't "do" all these things, he collates all the information from the staff and communicates it to everyone else.
I am confident he'll do the same at Twitter as well.
They’ll be paid after Elon takes a cut of what they have created…..

Have you told this to Elon ?
He seems to think racist, xenophobic etc name calling is the primary purpose we have "free speech" in US.

Like all platforms do ...
he hasn’t acted like an idiot in ~100 hours
All platforms don’t promote themselves as the “town square” nice try though…..

One thing for sure is - it's not clear what all the software guys do in Twitter. Not many changes happen on Twitter .... In the last 6 years I can count just a couple of major user facing changes.
That’s $8 on top of the 20% you make off your content …… and this is the “town square” I might bring this up at the next city council meeting…. $8 to step up the mic, make some revenue for public works

That has nothing to do with whether something is promoted as town square or the bar in the tough part of the town like I wrote sometime back.
After all the town square theatre will also take a cut.

So does Youtube premium. It's optional. So is the $8.
When did You Tube claim they were the “town square” and wanted everyone to have a voice….
But he is right, it’s a choice and like I said before, no one will leave Twitter and it will never go broke. Too many people love Elon and I’m almost positive those same people would like to find a way to make him a Presidential candidate…… sounds like another group of people
Why are you so angry? I love Elon too….. I just said it wouldn’t fail in my previous post because we are all blind followers who would die for Elon, he can do no wrong and should not be criticized

I'm not angry, I just don't see any value to the constant nit-picking that everyone in this thread is doing.
The criticism of Elon's unsavory article quote - that's legit, and warranted. But the picking apart of the possible $8 blue-check fee is ridiculous. Elon's not perfect, and he's made mistakes (Model 3 over-automation in construction), but that's how he learns. Elon learns a TON from his failures.
I'm happy to sit back and see how this unfolds. If I were a billionaire, I would have asked him how to invest, because more often than not, what Elon touches makes money. Lots of money.
