> I don't think Musk is intentionally lying about autonomy, this is just his worldview.

I’ll say that’s a rather naive view. It sounds like saying Mark Zuckerberg is not lying about FB and privacy, it is just his worldview that nobody should have privacy, except of course him and his family.

No, it's not the same thing. Musk has been very vocal about thinking the world will end because of AI robots running amok. This is not some stock-boosting ploy, it is who he is. Unlike Zuckerberg, Musk is quite transparent about his aims and his values, and most people are able to recognize this.
When you keep saying the same thing year after year "we will have L5 this year" and you see with your eyes that 100% of your predictions were wrong, but still do it again. I find it hard to believe that this is coming from his "worldview" and think it's more like lying to create hype so you can sell more products, get more investment and boost stocks (which all happened thanks to what he has done)
