Don't forget the tube trains that the world has known to be a scam for over a century. But at least he was correct when he said Starship would be sending people to Mars in 2022 and 2024, that the cybertruck would work as a boat, that model 3s would appreciate rather than depreciate, that solar roof tiles would replace normal solar panels by 2020, that the tunnels under Vegas would use high speed sleds, that Falcon 9 can be reconditioned for flight faster than the space shuttle, that a $30k Tesla roaster was released in 2017, and Twitter hasn't become an (even more) hate filled echo chamber.
