About flat out false claims.
None of the above is true - try to provide links if you can find them, I checked so good luck on that.

This is from April last year:

Elon Musk claims Tesla will have 1 million robotaxis on roads next year, but warns he’s missed the mark before
The stock actually dipped after that. Lucky for me, as I then decided to buy a few.

This is last April:

Well, I think it’s quite likely... I’d give you the 50th percentile, ... or it might be right but offset by a few weeks to a few months; in some cases, a few years. But I believe that everything I’ve ever said would come true – did come true. It may come true late, but it did come true. So punctuality is not my strong suit, but I always come through in the end. So I think we could see robotaxis in operation with the network fleet next year, not in all markets but in some.
Just like last year Musk packs his prediction with a lot of margin and uncertainty, but some peel off all of that and turn it into a hard promise on the wrong date.
That wouldn't be a first.
