Official Launch license has still been not granted. But it will likely launch on Friday.

Launch license secured!

Why should I believe anything that musk says? He could have just made that up like the solar roof tiles or the robo taxis.

Solar roof tiles are a real product though?

This is so wrong it's not even funny

Is it? The solar roof tiles where unveiled in 2016 as a finished product and Tesla took 1000$ deposits, 2 years later they where still figuring out if the tiles they had where durable enough as roof tile. In 2019 he claimed that autonomous robo taxis would be ready 'next year' they are still working on that.

or his previous 4/20 launch license...

I saw Marques Brownlee's video on solar roof tiles and it seems to solar roof tiles are a real thing -- though not sure about the SolarCity relation.

I think it wouldn't hurt to view Elon as a parroter of information in this case, there's absolutely no incentive to lie and launches get canceled all the time due to weather, your expectations should already be tempered.
