I want to buy one!!!

San Francisco startup Tau Robotics is offering home-cleaning visits using two humanoid robots for $60 per hour.

The robots, named Bolo and Sergey, are based on Unitree hardware. MarketWatch reported on October 17, 2026, that each robot costs around $55,000 before modifications.

They can vacuum floors, mop and help load dishes into a dishwasher. However, they still struggle with delicate objects and tasks such as folding laundry.

The robots are remotely controlled by human operators, so they cannot yet clean homes independently. The service is currently available by invitation in San Francisco, and an adult must remain at home during the visit.

Tau records cleaning sessions to train its AI models. Customers can request deletion of recordings, but footage already used to train a model cannot be removed from its learned parameters, according to the company’s privacy policy.

The service shows how humanoid robots are beginning to handle household chores, but human control remains essential.

Alef Aeronautics has released a video showing its electric flying car passing over Tesla’s redesigned Roadster. The California-based company says the flight marked its 1,000th logged flight.

The video appeared on October 15, 2026, the same day Tesla unveiled its redesigned Roadster. Alef CEO Jim Dukhovny welcomed Tesla to the flying-car race.

Unlike Tesla’s Roadster, which demonstrated short aerial stunts using specialized thrusters, Alef’s Model A is designed to drive on roads and take off vertically using electric propellers.

Alef unveiled a full-size Model A prototype in 2022. The company lists a starting price of $299,999, a flight range of about 110 miles and a driving range of about 200 miles. These are company-stated figures, not independently verified real-world results.

Alef says it has received more than 3,600 pre-orders worth approximately $1 billion in potential sales. These are not completed sales or confirmed revenue. The company has also said it plans to deliver a limited number of vehicles to early customers for controlled testing.

In 2023, Alef received a special airworthiness certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration for its flying-car program. The certificate does not grant unrestricted permission for commercial flights.

“I’m not building these homes just to give them away” might be the most honest sentence a billionaire developer has said all year.

Edwin Castro won the $2.04 BILLION Powerball jackpot, the largest in U.S. history, and now he’s spent about $10 million buying 15 fire-damaged lots in Altadena, the town where he grew up.

His plan is to rebuild homes that actually fit the character of the neighborhood and sell them to families who want to LIVE there, not investors looking to turn everything into another rental.

And then he said the part I actually respect:

“The profit margin doesn’t need to be egregious. But I’m not building these homes just to give them away.”

That feels refreshingly honest.

He’s not pretending this is charity.

He’s not saying he’s going to lose money just to make everyone feel good.

He’s basically saying, I can make a reasonable profit without squeezing every possible dollar out of this.

And THAT is where the whole debate gets interesting.

Some people see a guy with insane wealth buying burned-out lots from people who just went through a disaster and immediately think predator.

Other people see someone from the community putting real money into rebuilding it, trying to keep homes in the hands of actual families, and avoiding the usual developer playbook of maximizing every square foot and every dollar.

I can understand both reactions.

But if he actually follows through on what he’s saying, keeps the homes in character with Altadena, sells to families, and doesn’t turn this into some giant cash grab, I think that matters.

Extreme wealth gives you the ability to do things differently.

The interesting part is whether you actually choose to.

Elon Musk Just Showed a Tesla That Can Fly Through the Air! 🚗🚀

Science fiction is getting closer to reality. On October 15, 2026, Tesla unveiled its redesigned Roadster in a spectacular demonstration at a SpaceX facility in Texas. The prototype drove along a specially designed ramp, flipped through the air and landed using thruster technology.

Musk shared the video on X with the caption, “Turns out the future does have flying cars.” The demonstration featured high pressure compressed air thrusters developed with SpaceX related technology, alongside a system of fans designed to help the car grip the ramp. A dramatic cloud of white gas made the stunt look like something straight out of a futuristic action movie.

But there is a catch. This is not yet a conventional flying car capable of cruising through the sky or carrying people on everyday journeys. The demonstration showed brief airborne manoeuvres, and important questions about safety, practicality and road regulations remain. Tesla has said production is planned for 2028, although that timeline is not a guarantee.

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang says companies could eventually spend around $50,000 a year for each robot worker as businesses increasingly use robots to perform physical tasks.

“We're probably going to have to pay robots $50,000 a year to come to work,” Huang said.

He also predicted that the world could face a shortage of at least 50 million human workers by the end of the decade.

Huang was discussing the potential cost of using robots in the workplace. He did not announce that NVIDIA would pay robots salaries, and he did not explain exactly what the $50,000 would cover.

Elon Musk has explicitly stated that the United States cannot fix its fiscal crisis through internal government cost-cutting or traditional austerity. In newly released comments from an upcoming podcast interview with his biographer Walter Isaacson, Musk asserted that "the only way we're going to solve the national debt is with AI and robots" and that the country is "not gonna solve it by trying to save our way there".

The Failure of Internal Government Reform

Musk pointed directly to his own hands-on experience leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) as the catalyst for this conclusion.
• The "Unfixable" Government: Musk noted that almost nobody in power within the White House, Congress, or the judiciary truly has the stomach to cut spending because stopping waste inherently creates powerful enemies.
• DOGE Regrets: He admitted he "got carried away" and spent far too long (four months) formally embedded in the White House. He expressed regret for being away from his core businesses for so long, noting he should have stayed in the background and returned to focus heavily on AI much sooner.

The Economic Logic: Supply-Side Productivity

Musk's broader thesis relies entirely on deflationary productivity rather than standard fiscal policies like increasing taxes or slashing budgets.
• Outrunning the Debt: He warns that with the U.S. national debt crossing $40 trillion and annual interest payments alone eclipsing the $1 trillion military budget, conventional math doesn't work.
• Massive Output Boom: According to Musk, a widespread deployment of AI and humanoid robotics will trigger an unprecedented surge in productivity. By dramatically driving up the output of physical goods and services faster than the money supply expands, the real burden of the debt is effectively diluted over time.
• Universal High Income: Musk envisions that this level of technology-driven automation will eventually make human labor optional and create an economy of extreme abundance, changing the very nature of money. Without this massive structural tech boom, Musk warns that the U.S. faces a "1,000% certainty" of national bankruptcy.

Elon Musk told Walter Isaacson’s new podcast that DOGE showed government cannot cut the deficit, and that he got carried away, Axios reports.

Elon Musk says SpaceX will rename its AI division from SpaceXAI to SpaceXSI, with “SI” standing for super intelligence.

Musk announced the planned name change on October 4, 2026, saying SpaceX will make the change after being asked about it on X.

The move comes shortly after President Donald Trump directed U.S. government agencies to use “Super Intelligence” and “SI” instead of “Artificial Intelligence” and “AI” in certain government communications.
