Can they be useful, or are humanoid robots an indulgent attempt to recreate ourselves?

    He’s always promising shit that never happens. He’s just a stupidly wealthy pub bore.

      I cringe when I remember that I parroted the then current expectations on self driving back then.

        I believed him too back then, usually if a CEO makes such a statement it’s pretty solid. Because they are responsible to for instance stock holders.
        How he can make all these false claims and promises, and still be rewarded by stock holder with a $55billion bonus, is a mystery to me, as I see it, he is liable towards both stock holders, and customers who bought stock or a Tesla under false pretenses.

    first of many

    Humanoid robots exist. They just haven’t yet found an application where the existing implementations are more-desirable than alternatives.

    An Elon Musk promise is about as valuable as a pocketfull of lint.

    So they renewed their promise from… how many years ago with nothing to show for it?

      If he’s going for the Cybertruck look, they will probably come out like this:

        Unlike Imperial Storm Troopers, they sometimes hit their target.

        Judging by Musk’s previous styling choices, may I offer this?
