Guess we'll see?

"Maddow played a series of clips featuring Musk’s failed predictions.

In 2016, Musk predicted his company would send a manned voyage to Mars by 2025.

“Here it is, 2025. Mars isn’t nearly as hot as I thought it would be,” she quipped.

Other bad forecasts: Musk promised Tesla would have a “million” self-driving robotaxis on the road by 2020; Musk said in 2013 that California’s 700 mph Hyperloop train would debut within several years; Neuralink would start human trials for a brain chip that allows users to control devices by 2020. Not one of these projects has launched, and Musk has abandoned the Hyperloop idea altogether."
