musk also promised full self driving cars, and a mars colony by now
- Do we even know what he promised to all the women?
  
  A penis almost as big as his President's.
  
  A pony?
  
  A horse, that he wanted to offload anyway as he had a surplus of them from the ranches he purchased to cosplay as a rancher
Stock goes down, elon makes promise he can’t keep to try and make it go up. Rinse and repeat.

Piss off, In 2016 Elon Musk promised full self driving would be ready by the end of 2017.

So they renewed their promise from… how many years ago with nothing to show for it?
I'm sure it won't have any of the defects of the cyberdumpster.
- If he's going for the Cybertruck look, they will probably come out like this:
  
  Unlike Imperial Storm Troopers, they sometimes hit their target.
  Judging by Musk's previous styling choices, may I offer this?
Just make cars that work and stick to it.
