When do you think you’ll be able to get shitfaced at a bar, tell your Tesla come to the entrance and take you home legally?
For any type of widely usable scale it will be ten years, maybe more. For the average person to gain access in a meaningful way definitely more. There would need to be at least some wide scale pilot test programs that are accessible to the public now for it be widescale in a decade, but that isn't happening. This is why Uber bailed. They figured they were going to crack it in like 5 years, but the outlook was getting pushed massively. The big manufacturers like Argo (Ford), Cruise (GM), makes sense. They can write the R&D off while still selling cars, then once it is mature sell their tech to other manufacturers. The latest I heard from Argo is that they may have a publicly accessible pilot program by mid 2025, but that could easily get pushed. Keep in mind, autonomous taxis/trucking are where this tech will go first. There isn't a lot of reason to own a fully autonomous car.

It’s a tough transition. Mixing robots with people, the robots have kinks to work out and on the road people are about as inefficient and unpredictable as it gets. 10 years sounds about right, and yeah maybe 20-30 pbefore just about every car is driving itself
Still cool as fuck, hope I’m alive to see it. My prediction is that once all cars are FSD and the tech is pretty much worked out there will be almost no traffic. Robot cars in one lane will tweet to accelerate and they all do it at once

I feel that people are tolerated for their usefulness and loved for their imperfections. Consider the Little Rascals and The Seven Dwarves who are legitimately misfits, but without any actual impediments.

Look at a Durban Beach before-and-after meme, and tell me you couldn't invent irreverent jokes about either side of apartheid South Africa.

Elon is reversing Trumps ban.
What does Trump do with his own social media platform?

He’s going to bail on it and leave it to fail.

When you buy and sell businesses, that includes a list of clientele.
Not that I consider the 'father of the vaccine' or 'neuralink' to be blameless.
But, that's what he should have done, to begin with.

Musk hasn’t bought Twitter yet and a bunch of shareholder lawsuits means it probably won’t happen anytime soon. The sale would likely have to be approved by the government due to antitrust concerns.

I can convey my opinion on this, but not very well, I admit.
In the great clockwork of govt, is a mainspring to keep everything taught and a governer fan to relieve pressure, supposedly intended as a stabilizing influence against booms and busts. The company has always been a govt monopoly, in a Fanny Mae / Freddie Mac, hegelian dialectic.
None of the pundits on either side is going to say, noone has a higher claim than you, over your own property, family, and labor.

Musk had a monkey that could play Pong with it's mind, saying how the wires would need to be inserted, precisely, by robot. Apparently, many of the test subjects had deceased. Who wants to be a test subject?

Commercial message ends, show begins at @2:15 --
You can be ID'ed, without any impalement or surgical implants, to open soda fridges and garage doors. Dozens of biometric markers can never be lost, like your keys or credit card, and are already tracked through casinos, stores, and outdoor cameras. Life signs can be taken without anything invasive, beneath your skin or in your skull. Any image can conceivably be used as a digital wallet.
