Ignore musks projections which he always says are wildly optimistic, and look at the actual progress. SpaceX should be a marvel everyone is cheering for.

Calling him a charlatan is just not accurate. Charlatans never deliver anything that works. Musk and his companie have delivered results more than any single person on earth, always behind stated schedule, but still delivered(1). Also failures, yes. He's just not a charlatan, it's not an accurate description.

(1) Except maybe fsd with his idiotic vision only bullshit which is the opposite of his proclaimed first principles. I'm guess he'll lose that one in the medium run if he doesn't change his mind fast
