Elon Musk, because the billionaire head of X and Tesla is wont to do, fired off a tweet saying main enterprise information with out offering additional clarification.
Elon Musk’s X pushed a faux headline about Iran attacking Israel. X’s AI chatbot Grok made it up.
Musk tweeted Friday, “Tesla Robotaxi unveil on 8/8.” That was shortly earlier than 5 p.m. ET after the inventory market had closed.
This submit was nearly assuredly a response to an in depth report from Reuters about Tesla’s Robotaxi plan. The information service had revealed an in-depth function reporting that Tesla wished to scrap its plan to fabricate a low-cost car in favor of the robotaxi.
In response, Musk posted, “Reuters is mendacity (once more).” Musk didn’t refute something particular concerning the Reuter’s report, nonetheless. Then, not a lot later, Musk posted the tweet saying Robotaxi could be unveiled on Aug. 8, seemingly according to Reuters’ reporting.
As is usually the case with the Tesla CEO, it is powerful to parse what’s actual and what’s bluster as a result of Musk has such a knack for it. Even when the Robotaxi is unveiled in August, that does not imply we’ll all of the sudden have them everywhere in the street.
