Here's a summary of the provided transcription, including every distinct point:
1. **Original Prediction (Made in June 2023, regarding 2030):** The speaker predicted the top 10 selling automotive companies by vehicles sold in 2030 would be:
* **Number one:** Tesla.
* **Numbers two through ten:** Chinese EV makers.
* **Initial Caveat:** This original prediction included "one or two stunning exceptions" of legacy auto companies that would miraculously avoid bankruptcy, still sell meaningful numbers of EVs, and, importantly, would have licensed Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology. The speaker noted this FSD licensing expectation was made *before* realizing they were "too retarded" to do so.
2. **Current Assessment (Before 2030):** The speaker states that, while it's not yet 2030, the data so far indicates the original prediction "appeared to have been directionally correct" and "may in fact turn out to have been right on the money."
3. **Revised Prediction / Apology:** The speaker acknowledges a "major caveat" to their original prediction. They had assumed that despite legacy auto companies' "ineptitude, incompetence, and severe brain damage," some would have agreed to license Tesla FSD, understanding that to survive they would need to transition from "just an automotive company" to a "technology company" or "transport as a service company."
4. **Correction and Final Revision:** The speaker apologizes, corrects the record, and updates their prediction, stating they "gave them far too much credit." They now realize these "motherfuckers are even dumber than I realized."
5. **Conclusion of Revised Prediction:** The speaker declares there are "no such thing as miracles" and, therefore, there will be **no "stunning exceptions"** of legacy auto companies surviving in the top 10 by 2030.
