    Anyone else expecting a $100,000 “RoboBeast” in eight years and no mention of the $30,000 version ever again?

    Like all techbros, Elon wants to paint himself as some kind of visionary genius. Instead they’re all just anti-regulatory right-wingers who just poorly regurgitate better people’s ideas. Elon’s already run this playbook before so we know he’s gonna do it again.

      This is what I don’t get, I can also just say ‘visionary’ things by just opening any sci-fi book and pointing at a random page and claiming that I want to make that.

      The hard part isn’t envisioning cool sci-fi concepts like self driving cars, colonized planets, ai servants, and life like VR. The hard part is actually doing them.
