Easy to think a child could do a job when you’ve never actually done any real work a single day in your life.

People are acting like he just lacks creativity, so cribs from obvious science fiction. Either intentionally or accidentally.

Musk is just not a creative person. He names his robot “Optimus”, he designed a truck that looks like something out of Timecop “that looks like something Blade Runner would drive”. Of course he steals his entire aesthetic from existing sci-fi. He has no respect for creativity and has none of his own.

It really frustrates me when sell-side analysts like Dan Ives fall for his bullshit. I get why hedge fund bros and individual investors get excited about the short-term highs and lows of TSLA stock, but when you’re selling research to said bros AND the (theoretically) more responsible retirement investment companies…

There’s a huge difference between the i, Robot car and Musk’s car. The writers of I-Robot were smart enough to know that even with the most capable fully-autonomous vehicles there will be times when a human may need to take over so they included a steering wheel.

We women already know. Uphill in the snow, in high heels. 

I’m inclined to disagree. Especially with the whole “We, Robot” thing, I think he absolutely copied the movie as much as he thought he could get away with. 

I think it’s deeper than that. The consistent position of the GOP since Obama has been “we need to keep those other people down”- there was a significant number of folks who reacted to an african american president, and then to the idea of a female president, and now to the idea of a woman of color as president with…

It absolutely blows my mind that ANYONE supports this guy at this point.  I mean, he’s just getting worse and worse and worse and worse -- watching people continue to support him is like watching a good friend continue going home with an abusive spouse whose behavior is continuing to escalate.  What more can it take…

Trump is also now threatening the use of the military against his political and everyday citizens if he wins too. This is how it starts folks. Don’t say it can’t happen here. He’s already been allowed to get away with attempting coup and stealing top-secret documents. And the supreme court seems very happy to let him…

Destroying one and seeing who tries to sue the government would be a way to find out who they belong to.

What’s the economic model here? Millions of people buy a Model 2 with no controls that’s a personal cab, or are these plugged into some dispatch system that you pay Tesla to subscribe to? Or are they going to work with Uber’s dispatch? And the auto-cleaning - where and how much?

The appropriateness of Musk demoing his vaporware on a Hollywood movie backlot.

Can we please stop giving this racist pos free publicity.  He’s scamming the rubes and the corporate media are complicit.

If it gets a flat tire how long does it take to change it? If it breaks down can you tow it easily or even get it on a flatbed? If it has an electrical/self driving issue without a back up steering wheel/pedals there is no way for someone to voluntarily drive it to a service center. Can it go through even a few inches…

Just another Tesla announcement to boost the stock and get people to give them interest free loans. Nothing to see here. 

What’s sad is that a telepresence device like this is useful in of itself but Elno is too coked out to realize it.

One, why are they not running in the Las Vegas Hyperloop glory holes?

Two, a two door taxi? I’m sure he’s never ridden with the poors in a taxi but is it too much to assume, he’s seen them?

I work in automation and have sold and been around robots for 20 years. You only see fluid motion with very carefully programmed, dedicated robots with wrote sequences - theme park rides, animatronics, etc. It takes countless hours to make robotic motion look organic. It’s not an optimal way to move so the program has…
