He's also said that full self driving mode is just a year away... He's said that 10 years running.
He also said we'd be on mars by 2021.
...and here's a 20 second clip where he lets on that he knows it's all a grift...

Probably be a mix of the two for a bit, then get worse.
This is a function of the establishment right wing having usurped traditional conservativism (and their broad values), and replaced it with the nihilistic morality-free Capitalist libertarianism of the millionaires and billionaires funding "conservative" think tanks.
So there's no genuine right wing anymore. There's a conservative shell with anti-state, pro-Capitalist Libertarianism in the middle. All just so taxes and regulations could be lowered on the wealthy and their corporations.
It's a subversive attack on the nations of the world, and now governments have self-weakened and invited in their own doom and corruption rather than taking a principled stance by fighting it.
It's truly an ongoing attack on the nation.
Meanwhile in Australia: West-eh-share.
You really are stuck on this idea that I said something about the American election... I didn't.
Why would it offend me? I'm not Professor John Mearshiemer:

'The Blob' is his concept, what he calls it... And it has nothing to do with constraining votes in elections. It has to do with constraining the actions and choices of an American President when they're in power.
I think you just don't understand the concept (for whatever reason), and have mistaken these real world organizations (that make up The Blob) as the fanciful stuff of conspiracy theories...
...no, they all actually exist, and have stated purposes and membersship lists, mission statement, budgets, ect.
P.S The EU controls companies through their legislative and legal bodies, which have sanctions, and market influence. They're why apple can no longer have their own changing jacks - because although you're not aware of it, they do hold sway over companies.

You not being aware of this, is not the same as them being "teenage fantasies" or folklore.
The other option is that things don't change because there's an invisible set of organizations and agreements that force the status quo to be reproduced.
This set of organizations is what John Miershiemer calls "The Blob". It includes all sorts of thing tanks, the world bank, the council on foreign relations, NATO, this melding of big money corporations and political interests that control enough money and influence over how society is run, that not even Trump will truly be able to change the fundamentals in any substantial or lasting way.
The level of change stops when it risks their money and the stability of The Blob. We do not know what life would be like without The Blob - because we've never had it.
People don't understand, they both speak the same language. They're both natural grifters... What's more Musk is probably better at it than Trump was. Trump needed lessons from Roy Cohn, who was a ruthless, damaged, low empathy, closet homosexual and self-hater.
Musk didn't need that kind of mentor, he's a natural grifter, and my bet is that Trump is fascinated by him. They do similar things in different ways.
Only in certain scenarios would this blow up, and Musk has already bent the knee to Trump, so those scenarios are unlikely.
Musk is a friendly fellow grifter Trump can use, and has power over, which is what Trump likes.
At best we'll see Musk become a fall guy for Trump's shortcomings. But seeing as Trump may later die in office, Musk might also avoid such a fate. Only time will tell.

If you want to know the actual reason is that Roddenberry planned for his wife (Marjel Barrett) to be Number 1 in TOS and basically have the ship deeply dependent on her. The Studio canned the idea, and she was relegated to playing nurse Chapel.
So TNG was a chance to revive the idea with Counsellor Troi looking after the whole ship via her job, but this too was downgraded so she was just another character on the show rather than the center of the crew's lives.
