Elon Musk Wants ‘Strong Influence’ Over the ‘Robot Army’ He’s Building

In a Tesla earnings call Wednesday, the world’s richest man pondered the future of his company’s Optimus robots—and his control over them.

The mechanical fuhrer so to speak

Delusional thinking from the world's best con man.

Order 69 or order 420?

[removed]

Pumping whatever stock he needs to balloon this week, so he can leverage it to pump the next balloon.

The robot army he’s building that has exactly zero operational robots? Lmao.

hheeeeelllppp

The vote on his trillion dollar pay package is in two weeks.

Figure AI's robots are building BMWs currently. There are so, so many robotics companies ahead of Tesla.

He wants the power to make all the robots look exactly like him. Except with an 8-inch normal penis, instead of the mangled 4-incher that he has.

Optimus after long pause: Do u want a handjob to be done by an employee or by one of your ex-wife's

Have they even built one that works?

That's fine. Like his shitty cars, they also will be easily tricked by Wile E Coyote painted walls.

they were never going to let the businesses 'control' them they were always going to want YOUR CURRENT SALARY + A NO HUMAN FEE ON TOP of course MRR which is their value add as a manage service provider.

Robot army to subdue humans. Not surprised.

They will all be doped up on ketamine and degeneracy with a 21 year old trying to remote control them.

This imaginary robot army. Never gonna happen

That’s a little bit of sane washing there

Well his robots will be powered by AI\* \*Always Indians Teleoperators.

Shut up, Elon!

Let him have it. He can influence them to get back up over and over when they fucking faceplant over pebbles and exposed roots.

Well yeah, but that’s because Musk’s man meat was mangled and mutilated in a botched penis enhancement surgery.

Hey, that‘s just an implementation detail. Elon is an ideas man!

This would be scary if Optimus wasn't so slow and clumsy.

But first he needs to figure out wipers first on his cars.

Concerning

Second best.

Dooku

To be fair, it might be true because he doesn't consider the underpaid workers from India, remotely controlling his robots, as human and sees them as robots too.

Worth noting that ANY sane person, on the left or right, should see his argument and rail against it. We do NOT want one man to control a robot army simply because he's rich. That's what he's saying here... that he, and ONLY he, should have control over this robot army. Not a government, not a board of directors, not shareholders in the company... only him. That's not good by any measure. Everyone on the *entire planet* should be protesting about one man demanding this level of power. It's wild that this article can come out and we're not dragging Musk over the coals for it, and demanding his complete ouster from Tesla altogether.

this must be the surgery Optimus will be able to do. it’s basically the same function as the handjob and both lead to mangled junk. brilliant efficiency from a true genius.

What about the popcorn robot at the Tesla Diner? You know, the teleoperated one. By the way, has anybody heard anything about the Tesla Diner in months?

Thankfully..Its only in Musks fantasy imagination while he is wanking himself that this robot world exists.. Nevertheless, if such a fanciful thing came to fruition you are right.

Robotaxis running over optimii on the daily is going to be great

I heard it looks like a soup can now.

I heard that it looks like a can of tuna. Really shitty tuna with lots of mercury and PCBs.

Well, yes and no. I totally agree that this "robot army" thing is way overblown. We are not going to have robots everywhere in the next few years. But I also think it's only overblown *for now.* At some point, whether its in 5 years, 15 years, 25 years, we WILL have AI powered incredible robots that really will be all over the place. And we need to make sure that whenever that does happen, they aren't all controlled by just one person.

No smart guy would think EV would take over the whole world in 20 years. No smart guy would risk starting a rocket company with the view of landing rockets . Reusable rockets were considered absurd

than he should be rewarded that pay package

He needs to concentrate on building 1 robot that isn’t a human in a robot suit before worrying about an army.
