Episode 146 takes you into Giga Texas during the epic 2025 shareholder meeting—we start on the Tesla bus ride, and there is so much to see. We’ll sign the shareholder banner, watch Optimus demos, and even hear Elon talking (we’ll sit in the front row — even if it is off to the side). Watch the video for the full tour, especially the Optimus dexterity at 03:13 and Elon’s humane robot policing talk at 08:14.
At 03:13 in the livestream, Optimus shows off insane hand dexterity!
Live from Giga Texas: NOT a boring Shareholder Meeting
I rolled up to Giga Texas for the 2025 meeting—shuttles buzzing, fans everywhere, food trucks powered by Cybertrucks. I attempted to capture the energy as shareholders overwhelmingly approved Elon’s comp package.
Tour Highlights
The real magic starts early: the massive Tesla AI data center (01:08), symbolic “Fork in the Road” (01:48), signing @TeslaBoomerMama’s banner (02:28), Model Y self drives right off the assembly line (02:38), solar + battery setups (03:36), lithium refinery progress (04:03), and Cybertruck power demos (06:20).
Showstopper at 08:14—Elon on humane Optimus police bots in a post-scarcity world: preventive, ethical, no jails needed.
Wraps with golden farewell (09:15) and approvals.
At 08:14 in the livestream, Elon envisions Optimus as compassionate enforcers—game-changer for humanity!
