Tesla CEO Elon Musk has announced that the company will begin producing and using humanoid robots starting next year. Initially, these robots, dubbed Optimus, will assist with tasks in Tesla’s factories.
Musk has also expressed hopes of having Optimus ready for commercial sale by 2026 in a recent social media post on X. He said:
Tesla will have genuinely useful humanoid robots in low production for Tesla internal use next year and, hopefully, high production for other companies in 2026.
Other tech giants like Honda and Boston Dynamics are also developing similar human-like machines.
Elon Musk’s announcement about Tesla’s humanoid robot production came just before the company was due to release its financial results. Tesla’s stock price jumped more than 5% on Monday.
Musk has previously stated his goal of mass-producing these robots at a price below $20,000. However, the tech mogul has a history of ambitious timelines that haven’t always been met. For example, he predicted self-driving taxis would be on the road by 2020 and unveiled the robotaxi on August 8th, only to delay it last week.
Elon Musk has confirmed that the unveiling of Tesla’s robotaxi has been postponed. While he didn’t provide a new launch date, he explained the decision by saying he wanted to showcase additional features. This confirmation follows a Bloomberg report that the event was moved to October.
As Tesla faces slowing electric vehicle sales, Musk has shifted the company’s focus towards artificial intelligence, self-driving technology, and robotics.

I wish we were as a country also involved into the tech which is going to change the world as we see it today, but we are more interested in Mob lynching and religious extremism
Elon musk endorses extremists and mob lynch advocates.
So he would openly support such people . He’s well known for this .
Elon musk is all known for his fraudulent claims
1. He claimed tesla fsd ( full self driving ) is best . Usa highway dept found numerous incidents where fsd placed people lives in jeopardy
2. Musk claimed he was not going to buy twitter , he did buy it and was forced to do so. Bcz he already made an agreement.
3. instead of making twitter better, he laid off 50% of twitter staff and didn’t pay back the redundancy costs to laid off staff.
4. He claimed tesla bot is fully capable, at the demonstration he placed a guy in spandex dancing.
5. He claimed that space x his personal company, would charge just 8 million $ per launch. He charges 20 million $ per seat which is more than voeing , Russian launch .
6. He claimed tesla creates great batteries. In reality tesla buys batteries from BYD , CATL and Panasonic. BYD is the reason tesla even has cars.
Of and one more
7. He wanted Tesla to pay him 50 billion USD to make Tesla better . He is not the CEO of tesla , he is a shareholder . Tesla only made 20 billion USD profit since it was created, they only made losses.
How can you pay 50 billion dollars pay to someone who never made any money for the company ?
In order to get his pay package , he laid off 10% of tesla work force . That’s 15000 employees.
So Elon musk claims are just claims . They don’t exist in real world.
