And VCs are now excited about Musk's fake robots and talking up how many employees they can replace.
What a bunch of fucking parasites.

Not to reduce prices to consumers, NOT to compete in a heavily competitive market, BUT to maximize shareholder value. And DAMN research and capability in increasing your market share in the robotics industry, just confine yourselves to making your little toy vacuums and spend any money on buying back shares to juice the stock price.
Capitalists have no long term goals.
