Autonomous technology is inevitable and Tesla is being cautious with implementation to ensure safety before mass deployment.

“we are being extremely cautious and we're being paranoid about it because to your point um even one accident would would be headline news.”

He believes Tesla has been dishonest by repeatedly claiming their vehicles would be capable of unsupervised self-driving when they were not.

“I don't respect people who lie to me constantly over and over and over again and just expect me to keep believing them.”

He characterizes Tesla's current humanoid robot project as smoke and mirrors due to the lack of progress on basic functionality.

“Guys, Optimus is smoke and mirrors.”
