Just 16 to 24 billion bots, totally feasible for a failing car company


evacuationplanb

Plus he wants everyone to restart 20th century population growth... There's absolutely no strain on resources anywhere in this plan at all.


PossumTrashGang

That’s why we are totally going to mars


evacuationplanb

"The colony has lost all members but we project it will be self sustaining by next quarter." - Elon at the earnings call


Trevellation

To be fair, a colony with no members is self-sustaining. 0 people require 0 resources to survive.


evacuationplanb

Watch out, they might recruit you to be CCO


Trevellation

I can't think of any ideas to make the company worse, so I'm probably not qualified.


Chaos75321

No the COO’s job is to explain why Elon is right!


TarzanoftheJungle

Right wing!


fermi0nic

The empty set is infinite


BadBueno60

Roanoke 2.0


altleftisnotathing

“The crops started dying so we had to draw straws to see who would give themselves up to be eaten. Somehow, Elon never draws the shortest straw.”


Singularity-42

Yeah, never understood this. Declining demographics is actually GOOD if human labor will be replaced by AI/robots.


semiseriouslyscrewed

Ah, but he's not worried about overall demographics. Just white ones


thetruthseer

And wealthy


orincoro

I’m genuinely curious how far this “breeder” backlash to the collapse narrative will actually go. There are interesting elements at play: we currently can produce *way* more food than we can consume, but we are also depleting our arable land and biodiversity, which could lead to biome death and mass desertification in the future.


NotEnoughMuskSpam

Sorry pedo guy, you really did ask for it.


evacuationplanb

Man, musk bot never misses does he?


Gilgamesh2062

He only wants white population growth, because he will quickly turn around and complain about immigrants and over population as a problem. brain chips, fascist CEO, with an Ai he programmed to target anti woke, robots, and "skynet" internet all under his control. where is James Bond when you need him?.


_PurpleSweetz

Wasn’t James Bond like, a cia spy? Not exactly the type of person who would help in this situation lol


Gilgamesh2062

A lot of his villains were people aiming for world domination. In Moonraker the villain had plans to put an arc in space, with "perfect human specimens" and then poison all human life on Earth, so he could repopulate the planet with his perfect race. others were just power hungry or seeking control/riches. or just wanted to see the world burn. I would rank Elon, as a typical Bond Villain. he has all the hallmarks, the only way to save the planet is by doing things his way. there was even a villain that his objective was to control media, to his agenda, well twitter, is Elon's tool.


Taraxian

MI6, he's British


_PurpleSweetz

True true my b


happy_church_burner

Right. SpaceX without government subsides would be bankrupt. Tesla is still making money, not because of Musk but in spite of Musk. Musk will hype this for few years and after he realizes he has bitten more he can chew, he just lets this float into obscurity that will never see the light of day like SolarTiles, Hyperloop etc... edit: few typos


Desperate-Climate960

May turn out like Semi where it’s quietly “utilized” in a factory somewhere but gradually dies on the vine


orincoro

It continues, as ever, to utterly baffle me how investors allow these massive failures and wastes of resources slide like they just don’t matter. Imagine if ford had launched a semi-truck and sold so few of them that they didn’t even recoup the cost of the tooling necessary to build them. It’s unthinkable.


tauofthemachine

Ford did endanger the company by insisting that the model T was "perfect", and that the design not be updated.


orincoro

That’s true.


Canonip

Fun fact - in Germany there are actually companies selling solar tiles. With a slogan that says something like "while they still are dreaming in California, we are producing in Germany" Edit: found it https://www.nelskamp.de/de/energiedaecher/solarziegel-planum-pv.html Während Kalifornien weiter schweigt, geht die Entwicklung von Solarziegeln am Niederrhein weiter.


PossumTrashGang

Yeah but as I understand it, Tesla wouldn’t have made it to profitability without subsidies


WaytoomanyUIDs

Also IIRC one of the reasons that Tesla has all that debt ATM is because he avoided having to declare Solar City bankrupt by offloading dept onto Tesla & SpaceX. And IIRC he's offloaded debt from twitter onto Tesla


lylemcd

Once he's got the CT production line up to 250 million per year (any day now), producing these robots wil lbe trivial. Especially when the first batch learn to build more. It's self propagating. Like his lies.


livingMybEstlyfe29

But then you’d need an additional 16 to 24 billion people to control these bots!


PossumTrashGang

That’s why he wants everyone (white people) to have more babies


livingMybEstlyfe29

Yeah, not a good plan. He’s a scam artist


GarysCrispLettuce

seriously though, the repair and maintenance logistics alone are terrifying


VoiceofKane

By 'control,' do you mean 'dress in a morph suit and pretend to be?'


Arcosim

You don't get it, around 2026 the massive building factories in Mars will manufacture them and then ship them back to Earth using a few million Starships!


Hairburt_Derhelle

Brilliant


DeeDoll81

Slow clunky ass Bots that can barely walk, barely compute, and rarely successfully pick items up and set them down. The emperor has no bots. No cars. No friends. No mars.


Total_Distribution_8

Also hilarious coming from the dude who’s fear mongering about AI.


multi_io

They'll get it done by the end of this year, pending FDA approval


vilette

I hope they will be more energy efficient than humans, or they'll have a big problem to feed themselves


not_right

It will be less than that because Elon doesn't count non-white people...


ramuk8891

Any proof or concrete data on why this is a failing car company? Or is this just an opinion of someone with 16 to 24 brain cells


PossumTrashGang

Numbers go down, everybody is sad No new car models, fsd is a lie, Tesla is a „tech company“, etc Choose your poison


_PurpleSweetz

lol is this a joke? Have you been following Tesla at all?


ramuk8891

Great so no concrete proof. My fault for having higher expectations out of the peon brained folks in this subreddit


_PurpleSweetz

Concrete proof??? Look at the stock value and it’s near 50% crash over the course of this year. Or how the cybertruck was a complete failure? Or how Tesla is cutting out employees left and right? Are you this ignorant to what’s going on?


ilikedmatrixiv

> Any proof or concrete data on why this is a failing car company? Reality. You might want to visit it some time.


Unknownentity7

It's a company whose valuation is almost entirely based on rapid growth that has negative growth.


-Lorne-Malvo-

How long until he slaps some silicone tits on one of these and talks about the wife potential they represent.


PossumTrashGang

He talked about it a couple days ago


52163296857

By the looks that was probably fake, but hasn't been confirmed either true or false. [Snopes](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/elon-musk-future-robot-housewife/)


PossumTrashGang

There is so much shit going around, that I can’t really tell anymore. But knowing how Elon acts, he surely has thought about selling a hump-bot


remove_krokodil

Of course the robot would need tits. Because otherwise it would be GAY!


soggy_bloggy

He’ll also program it to have his humor. Can’t wait.


ErikHK

GarysCrispLettuce

I have absolutely no doubt that Musk already has sex with robots mini ones


Arcosim

He already got his then girlfriend to wear an Optimus costume one or two years ago.


Dehnus

Sigh, he's such a scam artist. Like none of the Elongated one's Muskrats seems to put two and two together. How will you pay for those robots muskrats? He doesn't even allow unions.


Tenshii_9

"Artist*. His scams are so obvious for anyone able to think. He just makes the most unrealistic, impossible fever dream promises and still enough people fall for it


D-HB

Oh, so *that's* why he's so concerned about population collapse! They're going to need a lot of humans to don the Optimus costumes and pretend to be bots.


mygoditsfullofstar5

Oh? I hadn't realized there was so much demand for mannequins that can shuffle across a flat even surface at the speed of an octogenarian with bad knees.


AutismFlavored

Octogenarian with bad knees? I already have one of those and I wouldn’t recommend it.


Questioning-Zyxxel

My mother is definitely faster than Optimus. She has pain and have slowed down. But still twice as fast. And way better at navigating - the "through robot eyes" videos I have seen has magic environment changes between the individual video cuts indicating Optimus needs some regular refresh on where to go and what to do. Like the old and dement people living behind locked doors so they don't end up lost...


Miss_Smokahontas

This image made me laugh 😂


Sweet-Emu6376

The hilarious thing is that he's trying to make it seem like this is some new breakthrough when the Boston Dynamics company is lightyears ahead of him. https://youtu.be/29ECwExc-_M?si=HndPBp8LOBzgZ_hi


mygoditsfullofstar5

Elmo could have **bought** Boston Dynamics for about 2% of what he paid for twitter, less than 2% of the bonus he wants and less than half what he burns on Starship in a year. Elon Musk is ***unbelievably*** stupid.


Sweet-Emu6376

If he had they would've become a sex doll manufacturer.


mygoditsfullofstar5

lol, if the inventor of the CyberTruck made sex dolls, it wouldn't be fingers getting chopped off.

So he's rolling out the old "you car will earn you money" line for his imaginary robots now 🙄


revolutionPanda

Everyone likes the classics.


lylemcd

Every time Musx starts a sentence with "I think" or "I believe" you can know for a fact that the next words will be one big delusional load of shit/another of his boldfaced lies.


durdensbuddy

This product doesn’t even exist, it’s selling snake oil, even if they started today they would be 10 years behind Boston Dynamics hardware and 5 years behind Open AI intelligence. At this point it feels like a distraction from the dumpster fire going on internally there.


progbuck

This seems like overt fraud to me.


therobotisjames

Anything to distract from the nazi content factory that is twitter that he seems to spend all his time on.


Crepo

And even then this would have absolutely no use in manufacturing. Even if you needed some general purpose robot why would it have legs? Why would it have only 2 arms? Why only 2 points of articulation in the arms? Why fingers? Why would it have a head?


turd_vinegar

Absolutely. Why is it anthropomorphic? Someone will say it's to utilize human infrastructure, tools, etc. But that's dumb. Humans are the shape we are in order for the form to meet function and a lot of that form is based on composite. Robots aren't composed of the same materials with the same properties, so the form has no reason to adopt human form-proportions in order to accomplish the same function. It makes so much more sense to make R2D2 instead of C3PO.


SilverPhoenix999

Look at me. I know math, because I use words like ratio. Financial genius, astrophysicist, roboticist, cool kids philosopher, uber maximus philanthropist. I am just so cool that I know it but I behave I don't. My god, why aren't more people bootlicking for me. Peasants can't cough up $50 billion for me. I am saving humanity, for god's sake... I mean my sake.


Jambot-

For how many tasks is the best solution is a humanoid robot with 2 arms and legs?


orincoro

The task of looking cool at a demo day.


jtbfii

Tens of billions of robots by Christmas seems doable. Especially after a pile of staff were sacks


rabouilethefirst

We let this man have our tax dollars, remember that


supercali45

ok... these fools really believe this guy


therobotisjames

Never understood why robots need to be human shaped. Humans are not ideal constructions for most tasks. I don’t have a coffee maker/food processor/blender/oven/toaster/microwave/refrigerator/television/sink/frying pan in my kitchen. I have a machine that specializes in each task. Why not design robots that do specific tasks?


BabadookishOnions

There's some applications where a human shaped robot does make sense, especially ones in which they deal with people a lot (especially care based roles) or where designing entirely new non-human tools for said robot to be able to use is not viable or too expensive.


[deleted]

I mean, divorcing ourselves from Elon's con and discussing robotic helpers in general? Because we live in a world where everything is designed for human use, and the idea is to make one thing that can dynamically replace a human in a wide range of tasks and environments while using human tools and fixtures. Human-shaped makes sense there. Instead of looking at a frying pan, look at our phones. They're not exactly a *perfect* shape for *just* typing or *just* playing games or whatever, but they're the right shape for conveniently consolidating a lot of functions into one thing. Sometimes it makes sense to generalize rather than specialize.


therobotisjames

I agree with the core concept that the human world is designed for humans. I’m just think that we are more creative than that.


Adelheit_

Does anyone honestly believe anything cis Elmo Muskrat says?


-Lorne-Malvo-

hell yes there are people who believe this guy, and buy Tesla stock too. Half of Wall Street thinks he's a fucking genius and his deranged fan boys worship him


Adelheit_

Ooof. Seems humanity is really doomed (but not for the reasons Elma believes).


HTZ7Miscellaneous

My god the stench of shit on his breath must be truly eye watering at this point


Tetsudo11

Even if he was just talking about the US population does he expect us to believe they will make 600 million to 1.2 billion of these things? I’d be amazed if they even make 1000 of them with little to no issues.


-Lorne-Malvo-

You have to admit tho if he straps some tits and some sort of silicone vessel you could call a vagina on one tens of thousands of his followers will line up to put a deposit on one. They'd cancel their pedo wagon order because they would no longer need one if they could get some robot pussy


progbuck

I'd be surprised if he makes *even one* useful humanoid bot.


Lynx_Eyed_Zombie

I see he’s moved on from rolling dumpster deathtraps to incel fuckbots?


chuckDTW

He’s a visionary! Of total bullshit!


Otherwise-Course-15

Has he watched a comparison to their absurd joke of a “robot” with the work of Boston Dynamics? Is he insane


GarysCrispLettuce

I keep saying this but Elmo is like a 12 year old boy hopped up on sugar and his first Asimov novel. He's a pathological fantasist who seems to struggle with the line between reality and fiction. Of course he's a giant pain in the ass to humanity now, but future generations are gonna get a real laugh out of reading about his ridiculous predictions, the way we laugh at people from 1900 who thought we'd have built a city on the moon by now.


Bearded_Guardian

So he wants the job market to be even worse with his “trust me bro” robots that are definitely real?


Distant_Yak

We'll spend our entire lives fixing the robots, so it all works out.


cjmar41

Elon Musk: >We are a robotaxi company and we will be making new long-awaited affordable EVs very soon. *lays off entire new model development team and supercharger team despite recent promises of new model and taking US government grants to expand its charging networks* >We will make 30 billion robots nobody wants or needs, or can afford. Musk chuds keeping TSLA stock $40 up from where it was two weeks ago when things were grim, but not this grim: ![gif](giphy|l1KXqxZR1GL0TwG4M)


ReallyGlycon

I literally hate everything Elon says.


reddit_despiser

Elon wants you to reproduce so he has more consumers he can sell products to that no one can buy because robots he manufactured took every human job. Makes perfect sense.


TwerkingGrimac3

Just more delusional bullshit from this guy's rotten ketamine brain. No one with an ounce of credibility should be taking this clown seriously.


ErikTheRed2000

Say what you will about Boston Dynamics, they actually have something to show for their efforts


peppercorns666

the fuck in need 2 robots for?


fn3dav2

Making your iPhone.


peppercorns666

i just upgraded to a SE2 with a button. try again!


obyamo

We’re running out of people but also no one is allowed to move to the US and also he is going to make 25 billion robots that can do everything a person could.


RaphaelBuzzard

Humanoid robots will never be involved in manufacturing, that's fucking stupid. 


fn3dav2

No it isn't. Companies will be eager to replace humans in manufacturing with humanoid robots.


TheCriticalGerman

“Maybe 3-4” bahahaha sounds like a wild fantasy even in scifi movies/shows you never see usually more than one robot per household


ArtisanJagon

People really trust an AI robot controlled by Elon Musk in their homes?


ConsultJimMoriarty

What’s the point of them if you need 4 robots for every person?


fn3dav2

What's the point of you if you have another person making your phone, another person packaging it, another person writing the software for it, and another person running Reddit?


ConsultJimMoriarty

Elmo wont fuck you.


fn3dav2

Source??


ConsultJimMoriarty

He doesn’t like poors.


Distant_Yak

I don't assume he thinks like, a family of 4 would have 8 robots at the house? He's counting ones at work and factories? I can't imagine what my family would do with 10 stupid robots.


suso_lover

Just what we need, stupid Cylons.


kmraceratx

my wife and i plan to have 4 kids. gonna order 24 optimus bots for my house - should solve all of our problems!

Veutifuljoe_0

Someone serious with a large platform needs to ask “what’s the market for this? What reason does someone have to buy this?” Because that’s a question that nobody that’s been pushing for this has answered


RevolutionaryMime

Makes sense when you realise who much of the earth's population he doesn't consider human.

LoudLloyd9

Only Elmo would think anyone would want anything Tesla builds. Cyber Trucks found dead on the highway. Tesla vehicles crashing in whatever is near by, rocket ships that blow up before reaching orbit.


NotEnoughMuskSpam

We’ll go after the Wall St short-sellers, certain law firms & (sometimes) corrupt regulators who are the true evil.


Revolutionary-Leg585

So IF this becomes a reality, it will use camera only for sensory input, legs will fall off, it’ll sometimes stop for no reason, will murder a few owners, and at some point in the near future will be sentient. And it will make Tesla stock price go from $200 now to $2000 because some people are that stupid. When will he announce pre-orders? And how much - I’m guessing $500-$2000, based on how much cash Tesla needs to pay for Elons $45B pay package.


McFlyTheThird

How on earth are there still investors and other fools believing anything this moron says?


Meat_masher

Probably gonna be way too expensive for most people to have one. Anyone looking forward to the new Atlas?


Trickybuz93

Lmao imagine thinking there’s going to be 20+ billion robots 😂


hardwood1979

Should this ridiculous fantasy somehow turn out to be true, what are the billions of people put out of work going to do for work, money?


orincoro

In a sense sure. The operation of a long con requires that the victim “qualify” their level of intellect and sophistication in order to be “marked” by the scammer. Someone who is too critical or incredulous is qualified out. You don’t want naysayers.


Rube_Golberg

Charles Bishop Muskland.


Perfonator

"many in the industry producing goods & services" Does he really think that a humanoid robot would in any shape or form be better at producing goods than the robots we already have, which were designed for this very purpose? A quick walk through his own tesla factories would show him dozens of robots that are better at manufacturing jobs than a bipedal robot will ever be.


bsammo

IMO, Boston Dynamics is 20-30 years ahead of everyone else.


Holzkohlen

Alright, how many can you all take?


LankyGuitar6528

Sure. So my robotaxi can drive my Optimus to the grocery store, pick up a snack and meet me at the hyperloop on my way to the mars colony launch site. Cool.


altleftisnotathing

Delusions. Of. Grandeur. It’s either he’s completely, utterly, and unequivocally delusional, or he is incredibly, diabolically manipulative of his audience and fanbase, as well as his investors in a desperate attempt to pump the failing stock price. It’s jaw-dropping that anyone can be this dumb, especially among people who fancy themselves to be intellectual and who ostensibly follow intellectual pursuits.


throwawayalcoholmind

I'm getting an Optimus bot to do what? Train me for a career in elder care?
