Musk admits no Optimus robots are doing ‘useful work’ at Tesla — after claiming otherwise
Elon Musk has admitted that no Tesla Optimus robots are currently performing useful work in its factories, contradicting his previous claims over the past two years. This reveals a significant gap between the company's public promises about its humanoid robot's capabilities and its present, practical reality. For owners and enthusiasts, it signals that the highly anticipated automation and cost-saving benefits from Optimus remain a distant future prospect.
