Elon Musk is betting Tesla on its Optimus program, which he now says will add tens of trillion of dollars...

Elon is the gift that keeps on giving. He’s decided that because it’s Friday, we should all have a pile in.

On a less scornful and more serious note. If he could get a working prototype up, it would be a good thing. Though I suspect that he along with all the other stupidly rich people would go out of their way to vote against providing parachute policies for the economy such as UBI for all the displaced employees.

      Exactly. His only real skill, which I hate to admit that he’s really, really good at, is manipulating stock price with his absolute bullshit to make himself richer. When are people going to wise up? At least Jobs delivered on most of his bullshit.

    I have a feeling it will be China who gets there first with mass-produced robots. They have the manufacturing base for it, nowhere else on the planet does near as much.
