Strangely aggressively down voted.

Well its Elon Musk bullshit, not really useful content. The guy is neither scientist nor inventor, so nothing he says here even has grounds to be correct, never mind believable.

Wait, but I thought he sent a Dragon capsule to mars by 2018? Or two Starships by 2022. Or passenger rockets between London and New York
Didn't those things happen? But surely my Tesla will drive itself across the country at the push of a button right? And if not, I can use a special tunnel, or a vaccuum train to get around, right?
Well, at least the solar roofs are helping safe the world with their amazing production. And soon well have have human robots!
Or were those things also not true?

Uh... the starship did go to space a couple weeks ago, you don't have to believe that, but it did happen.
Elon aside (cause the guy is clearly not all there at the moment), space-x is still doing amazing things. As far as I'm concerned this is the most positive thing happening on the planet at the moment. I expect reusable rockets are going to bring more benefit to human society over the next few centuries than fusion power, quantum computing, AI, or any other "future technology".
Edit: I take it back, if we can ever achieve efficient and economical production of long carbon nanotubes / graphene, that would probably be a bigger deal. Also metallic hydrogen, or room temp superconductors, that would also be pretty huge. But reusable rockets are still vitally important.

They guy that owns to most impressive groundbreaking rocket company talks about rockets and space has no place in a community about space.
Okay cool.
