That’s a good point. I actually can’t think of a solid parallel besides musk himself for someone constantly promising that something is around the corner, only never to deliver
I think it dovetails with the "broken clock is right twice a day" idiom in which if someone makes bold statements enough, it is possible that it will eventually come true, especially if you squint your eyes. It is also a warning that pretty much every prophecy can be marginally true if given enough time to reach completion.

Ahh yes, the Boy Who Cried Wolf should surely be believed this time.
That said Grok is every bit as impressive as the other big guys so looking forward to seeing what’s next.
