> converting Fremont factory lines to make Optimus robots

I’m very bullish on humanoid robots, but this seems absolutely batshit insane to me. These things are no where near ready for full scale production.

If the can walk and randomly fire teargas and bullets into crowds of protesters they could replace half of ICE right now.

Elon Musk says something absolutely insane on the weekly. Almost none of it actually happens.

  • That’s just nonsense, of course. Almost everything he says happens. It rarely happens on time.

    • Almost everything he says happens? Thats pretty far from the truth. Isn't Tesla still embroiled in a legal tussle over "full self drive"? What about the $30k model 3? What about the $200/kg to space?

      He has very little connection to the truth. He's a hypeman and a conman

    • On a scale of “happens” on one end to “doesn’t happen” on the other, he has a few “happens” that Elon fans will try and anchor against the weight of the enormous load down at the “doesn’t happen” end.

    • A few of the things he says will happen, happen. Many of them happen late.

      Most of what he says will happen never happens, but people point to the few things that did happen, but were late, and say, "This too will happen."
