Summary
Chris just got back from visiting four humanoid robot labs in California, including one that completely changed his mind. In this episode, the Dumb Money crew dives deep into 1X's unconventional tendon-driven design, why it could make robots finally safe enough for homes, and what Elon's rumored obsession with Optimus means for Tesla's next big leap. Plus, a rare-earth "arms race" is heating up… and Chris might have insider access to one of the biggest players.
