@65dBnoise You might be right about Elon selling the idea to anyone willing to buy into it. Many manufacturing companies would easily replace workers with robots if the cost were not astronomical (hundreds of thousands of dollars or millions to replace one job a worker could easily do).

I was initially underwhelmed when I saw the Tesla bot until Elon talked about using it to replace workers (which is somewhat alarming).

I'm not worried much about machine replacing workers (the old Luddite idea), because money in capitalism is not made out of machines, but by selling products or services (made by machines too) to people. It requires people to already have money to buy the goods, or jobs earning them enough for that to happen. So that part seems to be self regulating.

What I cannot stomach is the audacity of this hype. There are others who try on similar venues, but you don't hear much about them.
