Hey #ElonMusk! I’ll see your fake robot controlled by humans & raise you Elektro, The Smoking Robot who could respond to voice commands back in 1937.
Not to be confused with Mr. Electro, aka @driftglass co-host, with @bluegal, of Science Fiction University. Their podcast on The Day The Earth Stood Still stars Gort the robot. FYI, the failsafe command to stop Gort from destroying the Earth was “Klaatu barada nikto”

Plus the event took place over 2 months past the original promised date of 8/8, giving them even more time to prepare. (And yeah, that date probably was not picked by accident.)
