I haven’t seen a single substantive comment in this entire thread. Way too much emotion.

Why would he announce this robot if it’s real? If his intention was to turn this into a real product, what purpose is there to announcing it before he’s started?

Even if he were just lying to generate hype, wouldn’t it make more sense to make a prototype and show short clips of its parts moving and actuating? There doesn’t seem to be any scenario where the announcement alone has any justification. Especially when he’s being criticized all the time for these announcements.
