How does this idiot have any money?
At least the costumes can be sold for Halloween in Tesla’s forthcoming liquidation sale, unlike their cars that nobody wants.
They are making robots that are confirmed to not do anything on their own? The ones he has been scamming people and lying over using human remote operators?
The robots are going to finish that tunnel in California. They will carry your car through the tunnel, as always promised. They just need a little funding.
Should Hasbro be able to sue for this? Sure there’s some trademark here.
How fuckin dare he drag Optimus’ name through the gutter with his fascist metal dogs.
Fascist scammer
This dude needs to stop getting high for, like, twenty minutes.
Stock market capitalization bigger than all the European and American car brands COMBINED but they only sell two very similar vehicles. Makes sense
They’re not making the car that got them started and popular? A bold move.
46% earnings drop in Tesla, they’re pivoting cause no one wants musks cars anymore.
They’ve blown public trust, so now they’re pivoting to businessmen with no morals.
I wonder if the 3 is selling better. Maybe they will put more effort in to it.
Maybe they shouldn’t have made that shit truck.
Tesla booked just $2.28 billion in “bedrock,” repeatable earnings. […] At its current market cap of $1.44 trillion, Tesla’s selling at an adjusted PE of 632 ($1.44 trillion divided by $2.28 billion). Palantir, the super-hot supplier of software to the intelligence community, is often cited as the ultimate in over-the-top valuations at a multiple of 353. But Palantir’s got nothing on Tesla. At a “core” multiple that’s 80% higher, Tesla easily beats Palantir for offering minimal pennies in profit for every dollar you’re paying for the shares.

Elon Musk is a Nazi
He Should be stripped of his security clearance and incarcerated immediately.
why does he have it in the first place? he is just a rich psychopath
He’s only got security clearance because he’s a Nazi. A normal person would have been denied it.
Just don’t have interest but who exactly is the optimist robot marketed at? Like we all know that it doesn’t work without remote control so who’s gonna buy it.
Sales are tanking, profits are tanking, and he’s being forced to abandon his precious “SEXY” branding, by ditching the S and the X. Now it’s just “EY.”
Tesla has crashed, and is NEVER coming back. Sales/profits will continue to slip with each earnings report. The only thing keeping it afloat is because it is held in massive institutional investment accounts, but as it continues it’s inexorable slide, those institutional accounts will start to sell down, accelerating the slide, until they all bail, and Tesla stock nosedives.
Tesla will be bankrupt in 2 years.
Now it’s just “EY.”
Someone should troll him that its a trans thing
Don’t forget it’s actually 3Y, if you want to make sure whatever trolling actually sticks.
I am personally rather skeptical about the commercial viability of humanoid robots in 2026, but I suppose that we shall see.
They are just the prototypes to the eventual Slaughterbots that will be deployed into the streets to kill us, and bring us under control.
I’m sure that’s the vision but I’m not entirely sure that Elon Musk is the man to bring it about.
He is shifting production to a robot he can’t even show a working prototype for. The US taxpayer will be buying some expensive Roombas in 2026…
You should see just how far Boston Dynamics has progressed. They’ve been working on it for literally decades, and it shows. They may have humanoid AI robots working in automotive assembly lines within a year or two:
If it’s taken Boston Dynamics decades it’s going to take Elon Musk centuries.
Move fast, and kill all humans.
Doubt. There was FT article about robots efficiency in factories with title.
Robots only half as efficient as humans, says leading Chinese producer
Robots in this and next deade will be big flop. It will be like with VR from 80s and 90s
It won’t matter if they’re cheaper.
People are very expensive.
I just don’t understand who the market is supposed to be for humanoid robots. Manufacturing? They’ve already built bespoke task-centric robots. Consumers and businesses? They can already hire a real person without spending money upfront to “purchase” said person. I just don’t see the use case. It feels like another metaverse or smart glasses. Just another desperate grab at investor money and trying to claim the next “big thing”.
I mean, human environments are intrinsically made for humanoids to navigate. Like, okay, we put stairs places, things like that. So in theory, yeah, a humanoid form makes sense if you want to stick robots in a human environment.
But in practice, I think that there are all kinds of problems to be solved with humans and robots interacting in the same space and getting robots to do human things. Even just basic safety stuff, much less being able to reasonably do general interactions in a human environment. Tesla spent a long time on FSD for its vehicles, and that’s a much-more-limited-scope problem.
Like, humanoid robots have been a thing in sci-fi for a long time, but I’m not sold that they’re a great near-term solution.
If you ever look at those Boston Dynamics demos, you’ll note that they do them in a (rather-scuffed-up) lab with safety glass and barriers and all that.
I’m not saying that it’s not possible to make a viable humanoid robot at some point. But I don’t think that the kind of thing that Musk has claimed it’ll be useful for:
“It’ll do anything you want,” Musk said. “It can be a teacher, babysit your kids; it can walk your dog, mow your lawn, get the groceries; just be your friend, serve drinks. Whatever you can think of, it will do.”
…a sort of Rosie The Robot from The Jetsons, is likely going to be at all reasonable for quite some time.
I guess the point I was trying to make in my original post is - say we invent human robots tomorrow - what’s better about them than actual humans, which we already have an unlimited supply of? It just seems like a god complex thing to me, not really solving any major problems for humanity.
How many times has Musk promised technology actually appeared?
He killed his EV company just as EV sales were taking off worldwide.
You should check out this news story. It gives a lot more detail about their Atlas robot.
The plan is government contracts and kickbacks to Trump.
The military and DHS will buy them up like hot cakes i bet. Coming soon to a street corner near you. My question is will they be armed with 5.56 or 7.62?
Almost literally this
I smell Iron Man 2 plot.
But why has it become reality?Almost literally this
This will be a glorious failure.
Even if his robots were ready for primetime (they’re not), I don’t see how he’s going to be able to price them affordably, given the RAM shortages.
Tesla plan to build a “tera-plant” to make RAM.
They don’t need to be affordable, they will be subscribed to. What, poor, you don’t have the iRobot subscription?
They might have at least a few years worth of contracts in place. Beyond that, hopefully the current ram situation sorts itself out?
Nazis deserve a punch in the face, not money.
Boycott Tesla and Nazi led companies. Do not buy their products, do not buy their stock. Ensure any investment funds you have are free of Nazis.
Nazis deserve a machete to the face, but that’s just my opinion.
