How about this simple pattern --- if Musk says it, assume it's false until proven otherwise.

Overall effect --- practically nil. Government spending has actually increased about 6% over the same quarter last year.

"Tellingly, Musk's evasive 'next year' prediction keeps popping up, only to be consistently refuted."

Wired has found 19 broken promises from Elon Musk.
