      He has been announcing that full autonomy for Teslas will come “next year” every year since 2018.

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

        • being a family man
        • being not an asshole
        • being a tax evader and leeching off others

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

            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…

      Other than paying much smarter, more skilled, and generally better people to do stuff and take credit for their work, throwing out random shit and demanding that others make it happen is literally ALL he’s done professionally since he made a Space Invaders clone as a kid. That and self-promoting

      He’s the richest man in the world and also the perfect example of the fact that the ultra-rich don’t become ultra-rich because they’re smarter or more talented or because they just work really hard.

      Being rich already; ruthless opportunism at the cost of the health, happiness, and often lives of others; and shamelessly relentless propaganda is how billionaires are made.

        That’s hilarious and depressing.

        The author of that page gave up in May 2021. I’m guessing that they sold their Tesla shares in utter disgust at that point.

        Pretty sure that it still hasn’t happened today in Jan 2025, despite people making adult movies in the front of a “self-driving” Tesla. Something that seems like a life limiting choice if ever I saw one.

      Email would be monumentally easy to offer. Setting up an email servers is easy AF, and if he wanted to, he could chuck any number of free web clients on it.

      My guess is that this is a fast and easy way to feed his LLMs with more content.
