The screwworms are here...

Happy Friday. Elon Musk has set a lot of ambitious goals for his companies, like saying in 2011 that SpaceX could put humans on Mars within 10 years. Thanks to a New York Times analysis, now we know exactly how accurate those 600+ prognostications are:

  • Musk has achieved his goals 19% of the time.
  • He was late or failed to deliver 35% of the time.
  • About a third of his goals were too vague to determine whether they were met.
  • Another 13% have deadlines in the future.

If nothing else, it’s nice to know that you can hit just 19% of your goals and still become a trillionaire. Remember that when filling out your midyear performance reviews.
