\u201cMy predictions about<\/span> achieving full self-driving have been optimistic in the past,\u201d Musk admitted to investors<\/a> in 2023. \u201cI\u2019m the boy who cried FSD.” He certainly has. Many times. Indeed, Musk has a long history of making outlandish promises and unfulfilled predictions about his businesses\u2014and it’s a habit that seems hard to break.<\/p>\n

On the Tesla earnings call<\/a> with investors in late<\/a> April, Elon Musk reportedly sounded aggrieved<\/a> as he was forced to acknowledge a woeful 71 percent dip<\/a> in profits.
