Tesla FSD might end up getting good enough after a hardware upgrade in 5 years or so. The humanoid seems at least a decade or two away.

That said, I truly enjoy that he's investing time and money in these futuristic sci-fi projects rather than trying to optimize the next quarter earnings.

Most projects of his use government funds. I wonder if this will too.

The US government has something approaching a 100x return on R&D investment in the US economy…

Exactly. We socialize the costs but unfortunately privatize the profits. Americans should get stock.
