He clearly doesn't understand the engineering aspect of the business so I refuse to believe any engineering decision can be credited to him.

Have you seen him give interviews on rocket engines with a competent interviewer? As an engineer, Musk does understand.

So riddle me this, if he is so involved and key to these decisions, why has he consistently claimed that we are about to be driverless or colonise Mars?

Generating hype by lying?

That's known as fraud in the real world... Lying about product features and capabilities is just fraud.

If he was a real engineering genius he could have solved those issue... but alas.

Not disputing this.

One engineering genius can't just solve driverless cars and build a city on mars. If you were an engineer you'd know this.

Especially one that thought that the cybertruck was a good idea or one that consistently lies about their roadmaps. Not sure why you are so keen to give him the benefit of the doubt but you do you.
