ELON: I HELD OFF DOING A HUMANOID ROBOT FOR A WHILE TO AVOID HASTENING THE AI APOCALYPSE. “Tesla is arguably the world's biggest robot maker, because we have basically semi-autonomous cars that will ultimately be fully autonomous. And we are building a humanoid robot that will be, basically, like...

Yeah

Can we find an alternative timeline where AI doesn’t cause an apocalypse? Thanks, Humanity.

I didn't want to cause the apocalypse, but since Boston Dynamics did it, I figured what the hell?🤣

I think a lot of people are going to be taken seriously off guard at how fast AI driven humanoid robots emerge and alter society

Most people don't understand that the AI race is actually an arms race, and its ending will be no different from any other arms race throughout history. We all have to live with the results.

Elon Musk expressed at the Code Conference in September 2021 that he delayed Tesla's development of a humanoid robot due to concerns about an AI-driven apocalypse. He acknowledged Tesla's significant role in robotics through its work on autonomous vehicles and noted that humanoid robots, like those from Boston Dynamics, were inevitable. Musk argued that with Tesla, he could better ensure safety in robotics and AI development.

ELON: THINK OF TESLA AS THE WORLD’S LARGEST SEMI-SENTIENT ROBOT COMPANY “With Tesla Autopilot or full self-driving, we're effectively creating the most advanced practical AI for navigating the real world. You can always think of Tesla as the world's biggest robot company or semi-sentient robot company. The car is kind of a robot on four wheels. So then, well, you know, we could probably take that same technology and put it in a humanoid robot and have that robot be useful.” Source: Interview with the Wall Street Journal, December 2021

BREAKING: Elon Musk says the Market for Humanoid robots like the Tesla Optimus Robot will be 1 Billion units per year, and Tesla can make $1 Trillion a year selling them. He predicts that they will ultimately sell for around $20,000 at a cost of $10,000, and Tesla will take at least a 10% market share of the humanoid robot market. Pretty impressive and the world is about to change. Musk believes that there will be at least 1 robot per human and perhaps much more than that.

🚨 ELON MUSK: "Tesla is also creating a humanoid robot, which I think everyone is going to want, because it'll be like, who wouldn't want their own personal robot buddy. That will help you do anything you want to do. I think that's going to be a massive, massive product."

Elon Musk: "Tesla works closely with xAI. You've seen how many humanoid robot startups there are. Part of what I've been fighting — and what has slowed me down a little — is that I don't want to make Terminator real. Until recent years, I've been dragging my feet on AI and humanoid robotics. Then I sort of came to the realization that it's happening whether I do it or not. So you can either be a spectator or a participant. I'd rather be a participant. Now it's pedal to the metal on humanoid robots and digital superintelligence."

Elon Musk: Autonomy and Optimus will actually happen. “At a very high level, I'd say that autonomy is an insanely fundamental breakthrough. And no one is even close to Tesla for solving generalized autonomy or generalized self-driving vehicles. No one's even close. With self-driving, the car becomes roughly five times more useful, but it costs the same to build. Can you imagine what would happen if a company were doing a 25% to 30% percent gross margins, but suddenly that same thing was five times more valuable. What would that do to the value of Tesla ? And the value of that car? It boggles the mind, actually. If you actually do the math on that, it's insane. There's also the Optimus program, which is our humanoid robot, where we will leverage our manufacturing expertise and the intelligence we've developed for self-driving to have a useful humanoid robot. The economy is fundamentally GDP per capita times capita. If you no longer have a constraint on capita because of a useful humanoid robot, it's not clear that there's any limit to the size of the economy. And these things will actually happen.” Baron Investment Conference, 2022

ELON: HUMANOID ROBOTS WILL OUTNUMBER OTHER ROBOTS BY FAR “Something that's going to be very important in the future is combining deep AI in the data center or supercluster with robotics, like the Optimus humanoid robot. Optimus is awesome. There's going to be so many humanoid robots and robots of all sizes and shapes. But my prediction is that there will be more humanoid robots by far than all other robots combined by maybe an order of magnitude, like a big difference.” Source: Interview at Y Combinator, June 2025

Elon Musk: Goods and services will be available to everyone. It's going to be a very different world. “Once you have humanoid robots and deep intelligence, you basically have quasi-infinite products and services available. With Tesla building the most advanced humanoid robot, then those humanoid robots can be directed by deep intelligence at the data center level. You can produce any product or provide any service. There's really no limit to the economy at that point. At that point, will money even be meaningful? It might not be. Because the economic output is productivity per capita times capita. And if you have no meaningful limit on the number of robots and the robots can basically do anything, then you'll have a universal high-income situation. Anyone will be able to have as many products and services as they want, except for things that have artificial scarcity, like a particular piece of art. But for any goods and services, they'll be available to everyone. It's going to be a very different world.” Dubai World Government Summit, February 13, 2025

Elon Musk: We can have a future where nobody's in need. “A future of abundance for all sounds impossible. But what I'm here to tell you is that it will indeed be the case. What's key to that is robotics and AI: Self-driving cars and autonomous humanoid robots that can be your own personal robot buddy [...] and enable the production of goods and services, basically with no limit. When you combine that with sustainable energy from the sun and batteries, we can at the same time also maintain a great environment. I think that's the future that we want. A future where nobody's in need, you can have what you want. But we still have the beautiful parts of nature that we like.

ELON MUSK: "Humanoid robotics will advance very quickly. We do have Tesla Optimus robots doing simple tasks in the factory, and later this year, they'll be doing more complex tasks. We would be selling humanoid robots to the public, when we are confident that there is very high reliability, very high safety, and the range of functionality is also very high. You can basically ask it to do anything you'd like."

ELON: THERE WILL BE FEWER AND FEWER JOBS THAT A ROBOT CAN’T DO BETTER “I think ultimately we will have to have some kind of universal basic income. I don't think we're going to have a choice. There will be fewer and fewer jobs that a robot cannot do better. I want to be clear, these are not things that I wish would happen. These are simply things that I think probably will happen.

Figure founder Brett Adcock: “We look at the distribution of what humans do that is useful, and we [designed our humanoid] to do as much of that as possible.” “These things where we run marathons, or we do backflips, or we do karate moves—they’re not in the main part of the distribution. They don’t matter. And if you really want to size for those, you’re going to build a really expensive and unsafe robot that’s hard to manufacture.” “People want the $10,000 humanoid that can do general-purpose work. We want it to do laundry and dishes and be a companion. I want to ship robots at scale into the workforce to do logistics and healthcare, and build buildings and data centers.” "I don't need [our humanoid] to do backflips to do any of that work. I want robots building other robots."
