If he really wants to cut costs, he only needs to fire 1.
Musk is absolutely frantic because he didn't get his $56 billion bonus, he is all over the place, promising things that are impossible and insane, expecting us to still believe it, despite his many lies previously.
The Tesla bot Optimus can already do practical work, he claims while not being able to show anything but a bot that looks like it's shitting its pants, while it walks slowly looking like it's about to trip for every step. Also the RoboTAXI is now only months away, despite he is barely able to show a car navigating a parking lot.
Elon Next Year Musk is a wannabe on AI, he is so far behind it's only funny when he makes his ridiculous claims.
How much was it he claimed you could make buying a Tesla 3? AFAIK it was $200,000 Because full self driving was ready NOW, and you could make money buying a Tesla. Why is he not sued to oblivion for those claims?
Edit: Corrected bot from Xai to Tesla, Xai makes grok which is an "I can do that too" LLM.
I don't know how one man can think he can do the output of 20% of his engineers.
We aren't going to see another model Tesla after this are we?
Nope, a car company with no car design team won't be making new models.
Tesla shows what's wrong with capitalism - companies bloat on speculation driven in this case by a show man. Tesla is a house of cards - it squandered it's first-move advantage, the competition are now building better EVs, and it's self-drive technology is a lemon because Elon decided to remove all the essential sensors in his solution to reduce cost.
Meanwhile his competitors are getting licenses to self drive and Tesla have jackshit. Robo-taxis are coming but they won't have the Tesla logo on them.
Reminder that 55billion is 10k per Tesla sold, ever.
Yes it's an absolutely insane amount.
