On January 22, Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, made an unexpected appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. During his speech, he took aim at the high U.S. solar tariffs, which he believes are impeding the global shift towards clean energy.
Musk also shared some exciting updates about Tesla's technological advancements. He disclosed that Tesla's humanoid robot, Optimus, is slated to hit the market for public purchase by the end of 2027. Presently, Optimus is already capable of carrying out basic tasks in factory settings.
