Elon Musk says “Humanoid robots will be the biggest product in human history… bigger than cars, phones, or anything ever made.”
Elon Musk’s latest declaration is not subtle. It is a line in the sand that claims a future where humanoid robots eclipse every technological revolution that came before them. Not the smartphone. Not the automobile. Not the personal computer. Musk is suggesting that a new dominant industry is about to emerge and it will reshape the global economy, daily life, and the very definition of work.
Elon Musk says “Optimus could eventually represent 80% of Tesla’s total value.”
Yesterday, Elon Musk made one of the most sweeping declarations of his career, and this time, it wasn’t about rockets, Mars, or electric vehicles. It was about humanoid robots, and the future he described is coming faster, bigger, and more economically disruptive than almost anyone expected.
According to Musk, Tesla Optimus isn’t a side project anymore.
It’s the centerpiece of the company’s future… and, if he’s right, human society’s future too.
