Ahhhh, yes, the famously helpful C-3PO who <checks notes> spends the entire trilogy getting kidnapped by Jawas, Stormtroopers, and Ewoks, the latter of whom he convinces to cook his friends over an open fire, excellent comparison sir
MUSK, in Riyadh:
"My prediction, actually, for humanoid robots is that ultimately they will be tens of billions. I think everyone will want to have their personal robot. You can think of it like, as though you had your own personal C-3POor R2-D2. But
even better.

Humanoid robots? Hah. We’re pretty damn inefficient machines. No use copying faulty equipment.
just new toys for the rich
I'll just assume he means sex robots for his legions of incels.
I'll bet that billionaires will have armies of robots with which they will attack other corporate and government armies for power and control.
Domestic robots will be mobile telescreens a la 1984. They will both serve and monitor (kinda like Alexa etc).
It’s funny, because the non-humanoid astromech turns out to be the most important sentient creature in the galaxy.
I don't fucking want a robot. I want clean air, clean water, and plenty of time to spend on my passions and with my loved ones.
I wish I could buy a robot for my home that can loudly vent its anxieties at me in six million forms of communication, without being asked.
Isaac Asimov had a whole series of books about why this might not be such a hot idea.
no one tell him about Ex Machina just let it happen organically (well mechanically)
But, to be fair, R2-D2 is out there fighting a fascist Empire like a true baddie.
What is it with these guys and Star Wars, is it kind of like, oh, my dick is bigger?
He can't even get his Cybertrucks from self destructing, let alone...oh, wait!!
Let him have all of his damned robots, if it's anything at all like what he has tainted so far, maybe the robots will get sick ...
