At least they managed to keep the guy the robot is mimicking out of frame this time...

I’m sure it’s been done already. 

You can’t be sure he’s actually watched the movies he references, though. (He thought the protagonist of Blade Runner was literally called ‘Bladerunner’.)

Exactly. Maybe one day, after a long time and unimaginable amounts of time and money are wasted, they may be able to build a machine that can replace some people and even do the work faster, but they will never be able to beat the purpose-built machines we have today.

Hell, a Tesla can’t even drive a Tesla

A modern industrial robot arm could do that several orders of magnitude faster. Some robots are so fast they use carbon fiber arms to damp vibration and reduce cycle time. Elon’s droid is a unicycle in a Superbike race

Apparently Optimus was close with a bunch of the Supercharger folks...

“Musk said in that same investor call that he doesn’t see a limit to the bipedal robot market — that buyers will spend unending amounts of money to obtain Optimus bots that’ll do any conceivable task.”

That robot looks like it’s staging a work slowdown to protest management policies...

Tesla is a robotics and AI company now.

I believe that still applies.  The Bentayga is fairly unattractive and gaudy, but nowhere near as bad as the Cullinan and the Continental and Fling Spur still look classy and decent.  I see mostly old folks (age and moneywise) driving Bentleys but Rolls seem to be driven mostly by flashy younger people.

Further proof of the exponential inverse gap between money and taste.

Fortunately, it only took me 5 seconds to determine the car is fucking hideous.

^^^THIS.  Once it’s made national news that he ISNT running SpaceX, he’s about to reinsert himself big-time into the company to prove that he, in fact, does.  He’s going to drop the price of rockets by 20%, fire 10% of the employees, and carry a kitchen sink into SX HQ and throw it at the nice desk lady.

i love people heaping praise on him for spacex success when its all shotwell.  shes done an amazing job distracting that moron with shiny things so she can run that business well. 

Yeah, this interview basically guarantees that all the people at SpaceX that actually know things are about to be fired.

If anything is going to get Elbo involved in something, it’s saying that you’re glad he’s not in charge of it.  Expect a cot and a composting toilet to be installed in his SpaceX office within the week.  

“He Trusts SpaceX Because Elon Musk Isn’t The One Running It”

By the time Elmo reads this, its ex-president Gwynne Shotwell.

But at any time Elon could get his panties in a knot and start interfering. And that has to be a risk.
