What Tesla Missed: Successful Innovation Needs Trust

In this episode, Michelle Loret de Mola and Dev Patnaik break down the latest from Tesla’s We, Robot event and what it reveals about innovation in today’s world. From robo-taxis to humanoid robots that could babysit your kids, they discuss why so many are skeptical of Elon Musk's grand visions. The conversation centers around a key question: Can innovation succeed without trust? Turns out, whether you’re in tech or not, trust is the foundation for turning bold ideas into accepted realities... you can’t just put a wig on Optimus.
