It's GD...
So just to recap - no Elon didn't serve on the Twitter board in the end.
No, Tesla wasn't founded in 2021, they've been working on this robot for a year - something people were skeptical about.
And no, it's not SC, you've even managed to get that wrong.

They initially announced it last August i believe but is that when they started development or have they been working on it longer?
You mean "If Tesla nails the software/training aspects for this thing they could progress further quite rapidly and they've got a good ML team so I'd not discount it."?
So a company could "progress further rapidly" is a controversial thing to say now?
Not particularly, but he's getting desperate for something to pick up on after his previous attempt failed and seems to be sperging out over whatever he can at this point.

Re: a previous point about Elon's interests diverting from the board I'd assumed that was fairly obvious but perhaps people weren't paying attention - these tweets should make it clear, the general comments on how Twitter is run seem to be aimed at both the public and shareholders (currently it's not in good hands - I'm making a generous offer) other comments have been aimed at shareholders. The interests of the rest of the board aren't necessarily in alignment:

So he agreed to join the board and not buy more than 14% of the stock but all the time his real intention was to take Twitter private. So he was LARPing at accepting a board place and not buying more than 14% and the board were LARPing at voting him on to the board. Man every where you look people are LARPing. Either that or dowie is in the thread.
I think I get why Apex was confused, he's seemingly unaware of the criticism at the time of the announcement last year so lacking all context he's just kicked off in his usual style. Control theory isn't some new field btw and they're still using it today.
See some early reaction from the Engineering community when this was initially announced a year ago here:

1 year later he's got a walking prototype... sure it's not as good as the Boston Dynamics prototypes (yet) but that's pretty promising after just 1 year ergo:

Lol
You said Boston dynamics were working on their robot for decades, and based that on their founding date.
Tesla you say were working on their robot for 1 year, and based that not on their founding date, but their announcement date.
Bendy figures indeed.
I didn't think this needed to be explained but:
Boston Dynamics is a robotics company; they've been working on robots since they were founded.
Tesla is largely a car company, they've been working on this robot for one year.
They have been working on that for much longer than one year. Still closer to coming to market than their truck though.
When did they start working on it? AFAIK they had a basic idea of what they wanted to build and were just putting the team together last August both via external recruitment and by borrowing people from the autopilot team, it doesn't seem like this project has existed for much longer than that.

Very simple minded of you.
Even more simple minded.
You don't understand simple things it seems I've learnt a lot about you today and it explains why you have the views you end up with
Tesla Created a Functioning Bi-Pedal Robot Prototype in 1 Year & Presented It at AI Day
Tesla created a functional bi-pedal robot prototype in just 1 year and unveiled it at AI Day. The expected cost of Optimus is around $20,000 and could be on sale in as little as 4 years.

That's the key point - they only announced the intent to try to build a prototype a year ago, they were met with a load of skepticism, Elon even said at the time that it might not work... 1 year later they've got a working prototype. sure it's not as good at Boston Dynamics but they've been working on robots for 30 years, Tesla has gone from concept to putting a team together and building a prototype in circa 1 year.
That's both impressive and quite encouraging that they might well get a working product out of this (though it is a hard challenge still). I'm not quite sure why people are trying to nitpick over this.
Where is the lie? You're now making no sense at all, you've asked me about some mundane point multiple times, I've answered you and then you reply with that nonsense???
Did you understand my answer to your earlier question here too:

@dowie so was he or was he not on the board? From @Colonel_Klinck post, it seems you're wrong. Do you accept that is the case or have anything to show what you've said is correct regarding being a board member. As you've brought it up a few times when making a point, but when it's said your...

You seem to have gone remarkably quite about that one after your attempted dunk didn't work out.
Autonomous driving if they crack that (still way off) and the associated hardware/algorithms got a lot of parallels with robotics so they weren't exactly starting from scratch,
although I though they significantly rationalised their worldwide/eu software teams this year.

Absolutely, they've utilised the autopilot team, they're using the same computer essentially... people were skeptical of it but they've got the right sort of expertise in place to have a good shot at pulling it off and 1 year later it's actually quite impressive they've got a prototype like that.

What arr you barking on about. I presented no evidence, just that colonel did and then you brushed past it, so wanted you to present your side back. What dunk was there attempted. I didn't present the evidence that you were wrong. You understand how these things work. It really to you didn't it that you tried to brush past it and it wasn't allowed of you, after you've made the point and brought it up for post after post.Where is the lie?

Any now of course you go back to your usual "you're not making any sense" as you do with everyone in here.
I swear if you search these forums and put your name and the word "I'm lost, no sense etc" you'll get an endless list of posts were you get stuck with people coming back to your nonsense and then this being your last resort.
Your were literally asked to put your side across rather than brush past it, and now you struggle to understand this simple thing as imagine it to be some spam dunk.
