At least the costumes can be sold for Halloween in Tesla’s forthcoming liquidation sale, unlike their cars that nobody wants.
Should Hasbro be able to sue for this? Sure there's some trademark here.
How fuckin dare he drag Optimus' name through the gutter with his fascist metal dogs.
They are making robots that are confirmed to not do anything on their own? The ones he has been scamming people and lying over using human remote operators?
The robots are going to finish that tunnel in California. They will carry your car through the tunnel, as always promised. They just need a little funding.
Fascist scammer
Stock market capitalization bigger than all the European and American car brands COMBINED but they only sell two very similar vehicles. Makes sense
This dude needs to stop getting high for, like, twenty minutes.
Tesla booked just $2.28 billion in “bedrock,” repeatable earnings. [...] At its current market cap of $1.44 trillion, Tesla’s selling at an adjusted PE of 632 ($1.44 trillion divided by $2.28 billion). Palantir, the super-hot supplier of software to the intelligence community, is often cited as the ultimate in over-the-top valuations at a multiple of 353. But Palantir’s got nothing on Tesla. At a “core” multiple that’s 80% higher, Tesla easily beats Palantir for offering minimal pennies in profit for every dollar you’re paying for the shares.

Just don't have interest but who exactly is the optimist robot marketed at? Like we all know that it doesn't work without remote control so who's gonna buy it.
They’re not making the car that got them started and popular? A bold move.
46% earnings drop in Tesla, they're pivoting cause no one wants musks cars anymore.
They've blown public trust, so now they're pivoting to businessmen with no morals.
I wonder if the 3 is selling better. Maybe they will put more effort in to it.
Maybe they shouldn’t have made that shit truck.
Elon Musk is a Nazi
He Should be stripped of his security clearance and incarcerated immediately.
He's only got security clearance because he's a Nazi. A normal person would have been denied it.
why does he have it in the first place? he is just a rich psychopath
Sales are tanking, profits are tanking, and he's being forced to abandon his precious "SEXY" branding, by ditching the S and the X. Now it's just "EY."
Tesla has crashed, and is NEVER coming back. Sales/profits will continue to slip with each earnings report. The only thing keeping it afloat is because it is held in massive institutional investment accounts, but as it continues it's inexorable slide, those institutional accounts will start to sell down, accelerating the slide, until they all bail, and Tesla stock nosedives.
Tesla will be bankrupt in 2 years.
Now it's just "EY."
Someone should troll him that its a trans thing
Don't forget it's actually 3Y, if you want to make sure whatever trolling actually sticks.
I am personally rather skeptical about the commercial viability of humanoid robots in 2026, but I suppose that we shall see.
They are just the prototypes to the eventual Slaughterbots that will be deployed into the streets to kill us, and bring us under control.
I'm sure that's the vision but I'm not entirely sure that Elon Musk is the man to bring it about.
You should see just how far Boston Dynamics has progressed. They’ve been working on it for literally decades, and it shows. They may have humanoid AI robots working in automotive assembly lines within a year or two:
If it's taken Boston Dynamics decades it's going to take Elon Musk centuries.
Move fast, and kill all humans.
Doubt. There was FT article about robots efficiency in factories with title.
Robots only half as efficient as humans, says leading Chinese producer
Robots in this and next deade will be big flop. It will be like with VR from 80s and 90s
It won't matter if they're cheaper.
People are very expensive.
He is shifting production to a robot he can't even show a working prototype for. The US taxpayer will be buying some expensive Roombas in 2026....
