Ep. 222: WATT'S SO FUNNY? Optimus Learns Kung Fu (And Other Tesla Headlines) with Blake Wexler


Listen Later

Comedian Blake Wexler joins the show today as Tesla unveils a no-frills Model Y that's cheaper than a fake Labubu but roasted harder than a cup of overcooked ramen. Elon asks, "does your mom have a question?" on X and Aubrey Strobel's mom scores a SpaceX launch invite—hmm, was it waste of a Q&A? OpenAI's Sora 2 unleashes physics-perfect deepfake video creation. From Bob Ross painting a Cybertruck to Tupac chatting up Mr. Rogers, the lines are now even blurrier between what's real and what's not. And finally, Tesla's Optimus appeared out of nowhere last week and drop-kicked the world with some Kung Fu flair before narrating a vote-hype video for the Nov 6th shareholder bash, dangling a trillion-dollar CEO carrot for Elon. Reality is stranger than fiction but hey, I'm here for it!
