I don’t think it’s misquoted although I would have to go watch the whole video to be sure. I recall her answer being much longer. And what I asked her was something like, if there is proof that AVs reduce fatalities and then one kills someone will society accept that or will it turn against AVs

I only ask because I actually asked a question when I interviewed her on stage last month on this topic. But she did not use those words exactly

Do you know where/when she said this? I went to that pop crave tweet and there is no context

Elon stating - yet again - that the only real way to eliminate poverty and provide medical care is via his Optimus robots. Oh and also, these robots will stop you from committing crimes? That's a new one i think.

the end result is no different ofc, but it's probably less about being "cold hearted" and more about being completely unaware. The special lines, or color-coded cards etc probably seem like this great idea for logistics.

Or the free milk that was loudly announced when handed out. "Here's your free milk"

yeah my thought - i suppose it would be a fine gravel grinder type use case

Mind blown: Elon explaining that all the fingers of a human hand have purpose.

Well there are far more expensive e-bikes out there. will be interesting to see if this is “cheap” enough.. Technically it’s 4500 for the fancy launch edition. I’m hearing the base version will be under 4k
