    In 2013 he said that his cars would be self-driving by 2016 and has been promising that it would finally happen “by the end of this year” or “next year” ever since.

      Offering email isn’t exactly like offering self-driving. Any moron can standup an email host in hours / days.

        But have you considered that he’s not just any moron? He’s a special type that will somehow make it suck.

          Well, let’s be honest, it’s not exactly hard to make email suck. I’m sure he’ll find some interesting and creative ways to make it suck worse somehow, though…

      Elon is good at promising.
      What he’s terrible with is:

      • being a family man
      • being not an asshole
      • how he evades taxes, leeching off others
