Optimus: Tesla’s Robot Revolution
While Tesla is renowned for electric cars, the spotlight at this meeting was on Optimus, Tesla’s humanoid robot. Musk revealed that Tesla plans to build a 1 million unit per year production line starting in 2026. This is only the beginning; subsequent production lines could expand to 10 million, then 100 million units annually, potentially leading to billions of Optimus robots worldwide.
Musk envisions these robots as transformative for humanity—not just as tools, but as personal doctors, labor assistants, and contributors to alleviating poverty. The ambitious goal is to create a future where robotic workers handle nearly all human labor, allowing people to pursue their passions while ensuring access to basic needs like housing and food.
