Overview
- Tesla investors approved a record pay package worth up to $1 trillion in options if the company produces 1 million robotaxis, 1 million humanoid robots, and reaches about $8.5 trillion in market value.
- Musk said Optimus could eliminate poverty and boost global productivity by ten to one hundred times, with a targeted price range of roughly $20,000 to $30,000.
- He outlined a goal to mass-produce at least 1 million Optimus units per year by 2030, starting in Fremont and later Austin, though no market launch date was announced.
- Public appearances remain staged demonstrations as Optimus stays in design and testing, with major hurdles in dexterous hands, general-purpose autonomy, battery life, and certified safety around people.
- Experts questioned the timeline, with Rodney Brooks forecasting no dog-level general-purpose humanoid before 2048, and coverage noted ongoing policy scrutiny plus IFR sales growth and OECD findings on job exposure.
