That's still not very adequate comparison.

Musk has been promising self driving for... what 10 years now?

Hyping a working tool like Mathematica that will bring a revolution is a vague hope rather than a concrete promise of outcome.

Musk doesn't do this for you.

Notice the pattern, he does it to attract the kind of engineers attracted to solving 'unsolvable' problems.

Whether that's a good strategy is up in the air.

[me_me_me]

ah yes mastermind musk defense.

He is not 'lying' he is 'envisioning future to motivate engineers'.

[fooker]

He’s totally lying, just not to you.

Good engineers in specialized fields are really difficult to hire, this might not be apparent to people in the software industry.
