I wonder if Elon Musk is laughing his ass off about BYD making robots, like he did about their EV cars?

In China BYD is now selling 5 times more EV cars than Tesla!!

Now Musk claims his stupid AI and Robots that aren't even competitive today, will be worth billions or rather trillions in the future.
My guess is the competition will walk all over him in every field, because Tesla is lagging behind now even on EV where they had a solid head start. Elon Musk does not have a head start on robotics and AI, and I doubt Neither SpaceX (XAI) or Shitter (Grok) or Tesla (Optimus) will ever make a profit on any of their AI products.
Maybe BYD won't either, but I give them a way better chance than anything Musk related.
It doesn't matter to him, he's a trillionaire. Thanks to fan boys, idiots, and government grift/corruption his stocks are more disconnected from reality than pretty much any other.
