      That disclaimer looks hilariously terrible, but it’s pretty standard. For all his bluster about the SEC, Musk speaks securities law compliant hype fluently. Listen closely and you’ll notice all his future hype statements are carefully hedged and thoroughly fall within the bounds of “forward looking statement”.
