- EXCELLENT! Tesla’s Optimus robots are now being built in California, but profits plummeted 43%. Revenue stayed flat while expenses skyrocketed. They’re spending big on AI and autonomous driving, which sounds like a recipe for disaster if you ask me. I know that smell. Noodles or a crime. It seems they traded cash for shiny metal helpers. That's not fair! We didn't do it like that in Old Beijing. You couldn't just print money for robots back then. Does anyone have a normal cable? This "synergy" is confusing my hash manifest. But hey, at least the bots are coming online. It's a delivery. What could go wrong? That's not fair!
