The fact that Jeff Bezos was willing to ride his rocket past the Kármán line, but Elon Musk hasn't ridden his own rocket yet really speaks volumes about how much each billionaire trusts their product. (kbin.social)

Elon ‘vaporware’ Musk will be first to ride the Hyperloop, Robotaxi, Cybertruck, Tesla Truck or fully self driving Tesla. As soon as they’re ready, any day now, really, honestly. He announced in 2017 that he would be sending two rockets with human colonists by 2022 and four ships carrying 200 people by 2024. Hmmm, I’m starting to doubt his honesty.
