Oh boy. Robotic manufacturing in the US: doesn’t sound like a job creation program.

"Made with robotics" being the operative phrase that indicates not a lot of jobs will be created. A new generation of AI robots are about to be released.

Well, the robots are stoked!
(Methinks he doesn’t understand where the US is these days in regards to…um…manufacturing.)

You got that about white! Oh, and he's a billionaire, too.

Oh and let me guess, these robots will be made by Tesla?
