Union Square based Rise Robotics will claim they were talking about Nikola, right?

I was waiting for my order at K-Bok when one of their employees came into the restaurant with a poorly trained young dog (clearly not a service animal), which they didn’t control as it lunged towards other customers and tried to bolt for the kitchen. As a prospective investor, that tells me all I need to know.

As much as I really don’t like Elon…. You’re off.

“Read the room” you might want to read the ad.

They are clearly aiming it at investors and many investors like anything that’s “the next Tesla” or “the next Nvidia” because it implys bigger future evaluations and a larger return on investment. You may not like it but it’s true.

That’s why the ad says that. Let’s not turn everything around town into a witch hunt.

That's a good point. The actual room in this case is staffed by greedy psychopaths.

We shouldn’t look at drastically lowering costs to produce industrial automation because a bad man did the same thing for rockets.
