    He should buy that company with his billions. Oh wait I guess he’d have to cash in his stock or take out a loan. Weird how billionaires don’t have liquid assets.

    Buy the company, then pay them money or sue them so he can claim to be a founder of the company

    Well that loan will be just the same as liquid assets, and can probably be written off as a loss, because rules don't apply to oligarchs

    Man every loan this fuckers take should be taxed as pure profit

    Perhaps he could start small and buy this TOY ROBOT, which can do more than Optimus... 20 years ago

    This article is garbage. He weighs in with a single word?

    The article is also very obviously AI-written, and uses three paragraphs for the content of one sentence.

    and Leon starts to sweat.

    These cheap (relatively) bots beat the hell out of his remote controlled toys. and are in production for, more or less, public sale. These last two are key elements he has little to no hope of reaching in 2026.

    yet another thing he has promised and failed to deliver. Just as an aside, his promise of reaching Mars in 10 years just passed. I feel a bit out of the loop on this one. How did it go? /jk

    I need a robot that can play a choreography. And where i can buy new dance moves for 50 bucks a piece.

    Works for games, will work in real life too.

    Lets take 1 step back to something else:

    The upload is 19 YEARS old. The video is older than that. ~2005-ish.

    Optimus can't do ANY of this.

    Their Optimus 'dancers' were BOLTED TO THE GROUND and did not move a step!

    You CANT beat Japanese toys and open your dirty mouth?!

    btw: that robot ON STAGE did a FRONT FLIP... which is just as impressive if not more so.

    Collectively and perfectly executed, Nicely done.
