On Elon Musk’s X platform, the tech billionaire Lonsdale sparked outrage by explicitly calling for the return of "public hangings" in the United States. He talks about his desire for this kind of radical “masculine leadership” in relation to dealing with criminals.

John Johnston (JJ) breaks down how and why a new video going viral, from a Tesla “Autonomy Visualized” event, shows the Tesla Optimus humanoid robot taking a nasty collapse backwards. The demo strongly suggests the Optimus robot was mimicking a remote operator suddenly removing a VR headset, rather than the robot being autonomous.

John Johnston (JJ) reacts to Joe Rogan speaking on the American Alchemy podcast with Jesse Michels. Rogan thinks that it’s not far-fetched to think that Jesus could return as AI. JJ asks, where could Joe Rogan have got this “God in a box” idea from? Could it be from the likes of tech billionaire Peter Thiel, who has talked about similar concepts, mingling Christianity and AI.
