Elon Musk Drops Bombshell: Tesla’s Humanoid Bots Are Coming
Buckle up, future enthusiasts! Tesla CEO Elon Musk just announced that the company’s humanoid robots, Optimus, will begin handling factory tasks as early as this year—with a full internal rollout by 2025. 🌍 Think sci-fi meets real life: these robots could tackle repetitive or hazardous jobs, helping address global labor shortages.
From T-Shirts to Transformers
Remember that viral video of Optimus folding laundry? 🤯 That’s just the start. The second-gen bipedal bot (nicknamed Bumblebee in 2022) is leveling up fast. Musk says commercial production could scale by 2026, putting Tesla in direct competition with giants like Honda and Hyundai’s Boston Dynamics.
Why the Pivot to Robots?
With EV demand cooling, Tesla’s betting big on AI and automation. Musk recently delayed the ‘robotaxi’ project (RIP, 2020 promises) to focus on Optimus. 🚗💨 Will this shift pay off? Investors are watching closely—after all, EVs still make up 80% of Tesla’s revenue.
