Being fair to Elon Musk[edit]

Elon Musk is probably one of the most bold and daring innovators of a 21st century, however that does not make him immune from making overly optimistic predictions. The purpose of this page is not to cause harm to anyone, but instead to shed light on the accuracy of Mr. Musk's predictions, which one would think would be worthy of tracking here for the benefit of all humans. Care needs to be taken here to keep a balanced article. The tendency of the media is to sometimes paint people in positions of authority like Mr. Musk with a black brush. In this article special care must be taken not to do that to Mr. Musk, just because he happens to be one of the most noteworthy innovators of our time.

WP:OR[edit]

@Lighthumormonger. My proof of the original research was your prediction scale, which you suddenly deleted after reverting my OR tag. Please if you add it back, attribute a source. Kiwiz1338 (talk) 03:20, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are absolutely correct, and I thank you for giving me the hint that caused me to "suddenly" delete the scale! (A poor excuse for a defense, but I did delete it before I challenged you to prove it.) Still, I do thank you for your good-faith input.

What in the world does this "A poor excuse for a defense, but I did delete it before I challenged you to prove it." mean? Kiwiz1338 (talk) 03:32, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I did not give you a chance to explain yourself before I challenged you. I find that a lot of editors at Wikipedia make that same mistake. I make it all the time myself and lose friends and influence people to return my incivility back to me. I apologize for not giving you the time to explain yourself before I challenged you.
