Yes, Elon Musk is undoubtedly a visionary for our future, and his intellect is truly extraordinary. Especially with his recent accomplishment with Neuralink, he's pushing boundaries. However, over the last few months, I've been researching his career, and I can't help but wonder about the promises he made years ago. Each year, it seems like there's a similar product with the same technology, just a different design. While I've always been impressed by him, lately, it feels like he's making promises he can't keep, merely taking money from investors and exaggerating his achievements. Take, for instance, his reverse rocket design, it's not entirely his original idea. He's utilizing engines dating back several decades to Soviet Russian times, and the Centaur upper stage relies on RL-10 engines designed in the 1950s. Before people can trust him again and he can make his big ideas happen, he has to fix these problems.

So true. He makes many promises that he fails to deliver, and keeps getting away with that. Part of me thinks he actually believes he can deliver. May be overconfidence on being able to do anything and everything. But it could also be that he is knowingly lying to gain support or attention at various times.
My husband and I argued because he believed Musk was lying and only interested in money from investors. It's unfortunate, but investors still support him. We will soon see what will happen with him and his inventions. Many of his cars still don't function properly, yet the press hides news about burning cars and batteries that don't work in winter. But, maybe his space program will deliver something good. There are actually some good results, but yeah, only time will tell... and money :)
