Exactly. His only real skill, which I hate to admit that he's really, really good at, is manipulating stock price with his absolute bullshit to make himself richer. When are people going to wise up? At least Jobs delivered on most of his bullshit.
Honestly I think it's bound to come crashing down at some point. His wild promises have to get a little wilder every time it becomes apparent that Tesla stock is super inflated. Granted, I thought the horrible quality issues with the Cybertruck would've done it, but his insulating layers of tech bros have somehow carried him through it.
I'm not sure if this is the one that will do him in, but I hope against hope that people will take a couple minutes to at least think about how this would work. Even if people believe that he's somehow bypassed Boston Dynamics in the creation, let alone mass production, of humanoid robots (even though his last showing of it was a guy in a suit), surely they must realize that the human form factor is just about the least efficient configuration for robots to work in a factory setting.
