#ElonMusk is out here predicting that #Tesla's vaporware Optimus robot will be "the biggest product of any kind of all time." 10 times bigger than any other product ever made by any other company.
Last I checked the Optimus demo a few months ago was so obviously staged/faked that the stock crashed like 10% immediately.
This is what happens when each floor of the pyramid needs to be larger than the last one...
@cryptadamist I'm just trying to imagine your average MAGA shelling out for a robot. A girl robot maybe...
@jab01701mid $30k well spent
@cryptadamist i want a robot in my house watching and listening to me while doing "roman salutes".
@Steve Elon's been saying that full self driving will enable you to earn money on your Tesla by running it as a taxi for literally a decade now.
@Steve one of my favorite things about Tesla is that the car nerd press mostly loathes him. electrek and jalopnik are almost as sceptical of tesla as i am of crypto.

@cryptadamist @Steve any specialist in any industry realises Musk is just a grifter as soon as he starts faking expertise in something they actually know about. The most recent one is gaming. Well, and now auditing.
@cryptadamist The fact that TSLA stock is worth anything is a damning indictment of the financial analysis industry (though so are a lot of other things). His claims about self driving, robots, and AI (and spaceships) are laughably bullshit, but his claims about the size of the capturable market for these things is easy to calculate and wildly different from his very public lies about them.
@wordshaper it's kind of a damning indictment of the entire efficient market hypothesis, not just the analysts
@cryptadamist The reason the invisible hand of the market is invisible is because it doesn't exist.
Has he talked about that robot in the last 2 months or is this old footage?
Seems like destroying the country is his 100% project these days, no room for anything else.
@Phosphenes i think (but am not sure) that it's new footage?
