Candid celebrity robot dog spectacle from @wired

The video captures a bizarre public art spectacle featuring a Unitree robot dog with a hyper-realistic Elon Musk head walking through the streets of San Francisco. A reporter attempts to interview the robotic dog, which responds by lifting its mechanical paw to wave. The footage then cuts to showcase other variations of the project, including a Conan O'Brien robot dog and a man holding a 'Lost Dog' poster featuring a Mark Zuckerberg version, before concluding with the Elon dog standing near a pile of poop on the sidewalk.

Transcript excerpt

What do you do you speak? Oh my god. Why is it doing that? It keeps doing that. Why is it waving at you? Yes. I think it makes sense. It's okay. Better doesn't talk. I have some questions I'd like to ask him. It seems rather petulant. It would be hilarious if it's stuck in the group right now.
