Can you give an example of 1 thing Elon said that hasn't become a reality and cannot become a reality in the next 10 years?
1 engineering or physics related thing. Deadlines don't count.

On its basis it is hard to think we won't this at some point as it promises essentially orbit-like capability on the surface, so everyone has the right to dream we'd get this sooner.
..well known example is given..
"Has Elon actually promised something concrete about this?"
you can see that those things are different.
Hyperloop was always being to be extremely expensive and Elon's role on it was never but just try to be a catalyst for more innovation towards it. He used terms like "open-source idea" and did that student competition to try to kind of drive other people to grab the idea. Things like FSD are instead considered concrete and produced by his companies.
Your kind of thinking would say that no one will ever need more than 840k of memory or that rifling will never take off
Musk released a bluepaper and that pretty much it. SpaceX hosted a student competition also.
Other companies failing doesnt reflect on Musk.
I do think Hyperloop was a bad idea to be sure, but he very clearly stated he wasnt gone make it happen.
> Deadlines don't count.
I also don't believe commercial Earth-to-Earth passenger service will ever be viable with the current Starship design. Certainly not in the next 10 years.
>cannot become a reality in the next 10 years
serves as red herring and allows to move the goalposts arbitrarily, making the question pretty manipulative. Anything can become a reality in 10 years, theoretically speaking. At the same time this is not the main issue with Elon claims at all.
Everyone still wants the damn thing. Critique is better aimed towards things that are actually impossible instead just being observed with too much optimism timewise. I don't think sharp unnecessary critique of irreplaceable multidisciplinary pioneers like Elon are healthy in any space, especially here. This is not Steam Forums.
