Elon Musk claims that Tesla’s humanoid robot, Optimus, could generate over $10 trillion in revenue and become the most valuable product in history, surpassing even the iPhone. Currently active in Tesla factories and serving at the Tesla Diner in Hollywood, Musk plans to manufacture thousands of these robots in 2025 for sale to businesses and consumers.
Musk emphasized that he sees humanoid robots as the future defining technology for Tesla, stating, “Optimus will be the overwhelming majority of Tesla’s value.” The robot is being developed with advanced AI capabilities and is designed to perform tasks ranging from cooking and cleaning to managing inventories and providing elder care, representing a potential labor-disrupting force in various industries.
As of September 2024, AI models have rapidly improved, with their IQ levels rising from an average of 80-93 to 90-140. This evolution signifies a shift towards a future in which humanoid robots may replace human labor across the economy, similar to previous technological advancements.
