Any bets on when Elmo starts saving his nail clippings and stores up his urine in jars ala Howard Hughes?

You really have a sense of humor. I had a good laugh.
There was a movie...THE AVIATOR?
I am not certain.

Something else that will soon be shining bright, Elon's harem in Austin, Texas where he has bought three homes at inflated prices (like he did for Twitter) for the three mothers of his eleven children; Justine, Grimes and Zils. But so far it seems only Zils has moved in. Wish he had made an offer for my Tesla since I dumped it cheap.

The headline is misleading, the report says three homes, or whatever.

Elon Musk May Have Made a Huge Mistake on Full Self-Driving That It's Too Late to Correct

While Waymo is now providing over 150,000 autonomous rides every week, Tesla still has a long way to go until its controversial "Full Self-Driving" software is ready for the EV maker's competing robotaxi service.

And here is the problem.

The probe hones in on one of Tesla's most eyebrow-raising decisions when it comes to its driver assistance package: the insistence on exclusively relying on camera sensors instead of LiDAR and radar like its competitors, which CEO Elon Musk has long derided as a "crutch."

This reliance on camera sensors is silly at best. I used to drive from home heading east in the mornings and my Tesla would promptly notify me that self driving is unavailable because the camera is blinded. My older Audi had no such issues, so Musk could think of tinting the camera lens? So imagine racing down curves in FSD routinely and the camera is momentarily blinded and the car can no longer see the lane markings.....kaboom.

Heck of a smart guy.

Anti children trend? That's news to me. Could you shed a little light on that.

For various reasons the moderns do not want to have children. Many governments are providing incentives to reverse the trend. South Korea and Japan are prime examples.

And the USA is not.
