Elon Musk: Tesla will probably start selling Optimus robots to the public by the end of next year. “Humanoid robotics will advance very quickly, I think. We do have some of the Tesla Optimus robots doing simple tasks in the factory. By the end of this year I think they'll be doing more complex tasks, but still deployed in an industrial environment. And probably by the end of next year we'd be selling humanoid robots to the public. That's when we are confident that it's 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.” Source: Interview at WEF, January 22, 2026

Initiated a starter position in $VPG this morning. After further diligence, the ties of them being a key supplier for $TSLA's humanoid robots is becoming clearer by the day; and maybe Figure AI as well. The CEO was at the Sidoti Investment conference two weeks ago and stated the following: "We've been working with leading form-factor developer now for the last year and a half. That company has publicly stated that they want to see thousands of these robots in their factory by end of 2025. We are in the final stages of discussing the final arrangement, and we've already generated upwards $1.5M just from prototypes. We think that's an indicator of the seriousness of the investment put into these robots. We are also actively engaged with other humanoid robot developers. We think this could be an opportunity that generates millions of dollars for VPG. This could be a gamechanger". In $TSLA's Q1 earnings call, Elon Musk stated: “The normal internal plan calls for roughly 10,000 Optimus robots to be built this year. Will we succeed in building 10,000 exactly by the end of December this year? Probably not, but will we succeed in making several thousand? Yes, I think we will. Will those several thousand Optimus robots be doing useful things by the end of the year? Yes, I’m confident they will do useful things.”

This is Figure III announced today. I’m sorry but every other form factor besides humanoids will be crushed 🦾🤖🦾 I keep hearing people starting specialized robotics companies, “like robots for laundry”. And the pitch is: “you don’t need a humanoid form factor to do laundry, it can be much simpler”. That’s true. But, humanoids can do everything and will become the default form factor and so will be mass manufactured and so will be extremely cheap compared to lower volume robots. Its so obvious, it will be humanoids doing laundry, not a specialized laundry robot 🤦‍♂️ The one main exception to that might be line work in a factory where you do just need the arms and you can mass manufacture them (a al Proception)

NEW: China launches its first humanoid robot soccer league in Beijing. This is way more entertaining than regular soccer. The AI-controlled robots were supplied by Booster Robotics for the tournament and have the skills of 5 to 6 year old children. Robots were seen getting carried off the field on stretchers after falling over. Booster Robotics founder Cheng Hao says the robots' abilities will exponentially increase over time and will eventually challenge adult teams. "We chose the football scenario for robot competition primarily for two reasons: first, to encourage students to apply their algorithmic skills to real-world robotics," Cheng said. "Second, to showcase the robots' ability to walk autonomously and stably, withstand collisions, and demonstrate higher levels of intelligence and safety."

Elon Musk: There are all kinds of NGOs trying to eliminate poverty. But AI and robotics will actually succeed. “People often talk about sort of eliminating poverty and that kind of thing. How long have they been talking about that? There's lots of talk; there are lots of NGOs sort of trying to do these things but really not succeeding. And the evidence speaks for itself. But AI and humanoid robots will actually eliminate poverty. And Tesla won't be the only one that makes them. I think Tesla will pioneer this, but there will be many other companies that make humanoid robots. But there is only basically one way to make everyone wealthy, and that is AI and robotics.” U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum, November 19, 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

Japan Airlines has unveiled a humanoid robot trial at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport to test baggage handling and aircraft cabin cleaning to address Japan’s growing labor shortages caused by an aging population, shrinking workforce, and booming tourism demand. Starting next month, they will conduct mid-to-long-term phased verifications with these Unitree robots. Initially, operations at airport sites will be visualized and analyzed to identify areas where humanoid robots can operate safely. After that, repeated operational verifications simulating actual airport environments will be conducted, with the ultimate goal of establishing a sustainable operational structure through labor savings and reducing workload by having humanoid robots complement human tasks. The trial will last about two years. What a time to be alive that we are now seeing humanoid robot trials like this. Buckle up y'all, humanoid robots are going to start doing a lot of things us humans used to do.

The productivity gains from humanoid robots are going to be enormous, and it reminds me of what Elon Musk said about humanoids and the global economy: “When you think what is an output of an economy, it is productivity per capita times population per capita. Once you have humanoid robots, the actual economic output potential is tremendous. It’s really unlimited. Potentially we can have an economy 10x the size of the current global economy.” We are watching the early stages of a robotics inflection point. A lot is about to change.

Everything Elon said about Optimus on the Q4 2024 earnings call: ⦿ I see a path for Tesla to be the most valuable company in the world, possibly bigger than the next five companies combined, overwhelmingly due to autonomous vehicles and autonomous humanoid robots. ⦿ The training compute needed for Optimus will ultimately probably be 10× what is needed for cars. Humanoids likely have 1,000× more useS than a car, which doesn't mean training scales by 1,000×, but probably close to 10×. The training compute will scale progressively as Optimus becomes more productive. ⦿ Long-term, Optimus has the potential to generate $10 trillion in revenue. In that scenario, we can support a lot of training compute. Even $500 billion in training compute is a good deal (chuckles). ⦿ There's a lot of uncertainty with timing because several aspects are being iterated simultaneously. The internal plan is for roughly 10,000 robots to be built this year, but we'll more likely produce several thousand. ⦿ I'm confident those several thousand robots will be able to do useful things. ⦿ The lessons from Production V1 will inform the changes in Production V2, which we expect to launch around mid-next year. ⦿ Our goal, aspirationally, is to ramp 10× every year, but perhaps we end up with 5× growth per year. With that kind of growth, it won't be many years before we're making 100 million robots a year. ⦿ The off-the-shelf components didn't work well, so we had to design everything in-house, including the most sophisticated hand ever made. Optimus will be able to play a piano and thread a needle. ⦿ My long-term prediction is that Optimus will overwhelmingly be the value of the company. ⦿ Optimus is not design-locked. It is rapidly evolving in a good direction. Tesla has by far the best humanoid robotics engineers in the world. Tesla also has all the other necessary ingredients: battery pack, power electronics, charging, communications, real-world AI, and the ability to scale production. ⦿ What other companies are missing is real-world AI and the ability to scale to millions of units a year. ⦿ This year, we aim to use Optimus internally at Tesla. We can easily use several thousand robots at Tesla for repetitive tasks, such as loading sheet metal at the welding line. ⦿ The Production V1 line is roughly 1,000 units per month. The Production V2, launching around mid-next year, will be for 10k units per month. The line after that will be for 100k units a month. Of course, it takes time for any given line to reach its maximum potential. ⦿ A very rough guess: we'll start delivering Optimus to companies outside of Tesla in the second half of 2026. The ramp is going to be exponential, and demand will not be a problem. ⦿ Once we're above 1 million units per year, the production cost of Optimus will be less than $20,000. Its total mass and complexity are much lower than a car. At a similar production volume to the Model Y, Optimus should be about half the cost of a Model Y. ⦿ The price is a different matter than cost. The price of Optimus will be set by market demand. [This is by far the longest Elon has ever spent discussing Optimus on an earnings call.]

JUST IN: Figure has gone from producing 1 humanoid robot per day to 1 per hour, a 24x throughput improvement in under 120 days. This data is from their manufacturing facility BotQ update (link below) Here's what's happening inside BotQ: → Over 350 Figure 03 robots delivered and counting → End-of-line first-pass yield now above 80% and improving weekly → Battery line at 99.3% first-pass yield with 500+ battery packs shipped → Over 9,000 actuators produced across 10+ distinct SKUs → Every robot put through 80+ functional verification tests before sign-off Their Helix AI model can now SEE the environment it's moving through, not just feel it. Stairs, ramps, uneven terrain, navigated zero-shot, trained entirely in simulation, deployed directly to hardware with no real-world fine-tuning. Brett Adcock has been clear about the plan: every robot that rolls off the line is a data-collection engine. The bigger the fleet, the faster the AI improves. The faster the AI improves, the more deployable the robot becomes. This is the flywheel. And it is now spinning. The humanoid robot race just got very serious. VERY INTERESTING.

John: "Over in China, they’re doing robot Olympics. They’re doing marathons and all sorts of stuff." 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."
