Here's a depressing article he wrote at the end of 2021:

Oof. Of all the Rockets he mentioned, only SLS ended up launching in 2022. Starship launched two test flights in 2023, but hasn't achieved orbital velocity yet. Vulcan, Ariane 6, and New Glenn have all slipped to 2024 now.

Apart from SLS, none made orbit, but SLS had a (over a) decade headstart. It's a bit unfair to group them together.

Also, SLS is a white elephant with no future.

Eh, it has a future for the next few Artemis missions. Not sure it will be used for anything else though.
