Elon apparently liked Iain Banks as a writer, probably because Banks gave his sentient spaceships fantastic names that Musk could nick. But weird to think about because Banks developed a utopian and clearly socialist future society called The Culture. Amazing books but I guess fascist Musk must not have understood what he was skim reading. Heaven forbid the likes of him ever read 1984, he would definitely see it as an instructional manual.

But now fully embraces it.
"I think it'll be good. Most likely it'll be good." But he didn't stop there. He followed up with the kind of comment only Musk could make with a straight face: "But I've somewhat reconciled myself to the fact that even if it wasn't gonna be good, I'd at least like to be alive to see it happen."

When I bought a Miko robot for my child a year ago—a smart AI companion that tells stories, plays games, and even teaches languages—I was thrilled at how quickly technology like this is advancing, just like you're discussing here with Musk and the future of e-bike robots. But my excitement quickly turned to frustration: the device was glitching, wouldn't connect to Wi-Fi, and support ignored my emails for weeks. Looking for a solution, I went to https://www.pissedconsumer.com/company/miko/customer-service.html , which had a ton of similar reviews about poor service. This helped me find contacts who actually work and, through escalation, get the device replaced.
