In this episode, Michelle Loret de Mola and Dev Patnaik break down the latest from Tesla’s We, Robot event and what it reveals about innovation in today’s world. From robo-taxis to humanoid robots that could babysit your kids, they discuss why so many are skeptical of Elon Musk's grand visions. The conversation centers around a key question: Can innovation succeed without trust? Turns out, whether you’re in tech or not, trust is the foundation for turning bold ideas into accepted realities... you can’t just put a wig on Optimus.
