    “this will be the biggest product ever of any kind” and “everyone of the 8 billion people one earth will want their Optimus buddy”.

    Dude. Most people on this planet can barely afford a $1,000 smart phone.

    First, there are a shockingly high number of people walking around with a $1k smart phone, but I think that speaks more to people buying on credit.

    Sadly if a company can replace a worker with a $30k robot, he won’t be wrong that lots would be sold. I have serious doubts these will be replacing humans in the short term.

      The shockingly high number of people with high end phones are still, by global standards, pretty damn rich.
