    I know im a big nerd but "Musk also presented the Optimus robot, your plastic pal who’s fun to be with — “your own personal R2-D2, C-3PO!”.

    Why would I need an astromech droid Musk? At least a GNK droid provides power. Stupid sexy gonk droid.

      Don’t have much use for a protocol droid either.

            you know, humidity control is one of the few parts of my house that isn’t controlled by a handbuilt Linux system I’ve fastened to the wall

        Considering the important parts of that, aka the languages can be done by your phone sure. But it would at least have a minimal use. R2 d2 needs special attachments to serve drinks.

        The cybertray, competitively priced at 4000$ and the reported risk of it breaking when wet is fairly minimal.
