If I worked on Optimus I would be so angry about the decision to so this. Now nobody will trust the brand or the product. Stupid.

I don’t know. Despite being remotely controlled, their movements were smooth and human like. I mean it’s literal untethered bipedal robots walking around in the midst of a party. It’s already pretty incredible in my opinion and can only go up from here.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The $7500 existed only for other manufacturers. It had expired entirely for Tesla. No Tesla model was eligible for any more credits at that time and there was no particular reason to believe that Tesla would ever become eligible again in the future. Also, the credit back then did not directly reduce the price paid at purchase time the way it does today. I think it is fair to apply the credit when comparing to the ann…

The rebate had existed before, and the quota renewing at some point between announcement and release was not a crazy idea. If Tesla's jacking up the price because of that rebate, they get NO credit for it. 63k is what they are charging and what I will judge them on. And I don't think the exact moment it applies really matters.

It's all about controlling money that might go to more honest ventures. Yes, humanity has engineers who are going to the moon, creating robots, investigating brain interfaces, improving public transport with buses and tunnels. And there will always be monorail salesmen who try to soak up those investments, taking away from others.

And Boring Company salesmen...

After reading the Isaacson biography, it’s clear to me Elon is not a stable or trustworthy person. The evidence continues to mount.

after reading the actual words he writes himself and publishes them for the world to see I came to the same conclusion

When people tell you who they are, listen.

It's all about creating a high stock price, then take out a loan on the stock, and have a nice life.

Didn't OpenAI demo facetime with a H.E.R. like chatbot/AI friend in April? Where is that.. it's not available to anyone I know and was that actual real tech running or just faked demos? The tech playbook is hype even if it's not real and or really exists ... hype it up .. make them pay for the promise of something they think exists but it doesnt. Similar thing here Musk following the technology/startup playbook ... h…

The safety people got a hold of it, but they did end up releasing it, although it refuses to do a lot of simple stuff you ask it to.

“The safety people” are gone.

OpenAI is just very comfortable lying right around the time google is doing a big public announcement.

Where is Sora? Everyone and their dog has video gen out now, Sora is conspicuously absent.

This results in me trusting Tesla less. If this was fake, how do we know the robovans were not remotely operated? They might as well be too to get the stock price up? There is no way to know. I am really doubting Tesla now. It wouldn’t surprise me that, in order to prevent mishaps during the event, everything is remotely operated… People will say: that’s not true. But where did Tesla clearly specify this upfront? I s…

You can't be serious. Musk is under investigation for manipulating stock prices back years ago. Anything shown on these events must be assumed fake until proven otherwise.
