What’s the conversion of Elon years to real years?

I believe it involves impossible math, like dividing by 0

I think the general rule of thumb is to shift the units of time up.

If he says 2 weeks, try 2 months. If he says 2 months, wait 2 years.

Robotaxis in 2 decades I think is actually achievable.

It's funny that Boston Dynamic has been quite successful with their biped robot, then Tesla announce something without even a working prototype.

Then Waymo has been quite successful with their driverless taxi, then Melon announce something without even a working prototype.

I wonder what he will copy next.

He made Blastar, an original copy of Space invaders
