Elon Musk bets Tesla on Optimus, says over 1,000 robots working in factories next year (electrek.co)

Elon is the gift that keeps on giving. He's decided that because it's Friday, we should all have a pile in.

On a less scornful and more serious note. If he could get a working prototype up, it would be a good thing. Though I suspect that he along with all the other stupidly rich people would go out of their way to vote against providing parachute policies for the economy such as UBI for all the displaced employees.

They have 2 robots so far. I believe they can make it to 5 by next year and the other 995 will just be people in spandex suits like the first time he announced these things

This is the same guy who said full auto driving out of beta in 2 years 10 years ago and that we're going to be living in Mars in 2. Skeptical is an understatement

Nah, if 2 are really working, just buy 998 and he'd have at least stuck to the number. Whether that improves something is the actual question.
