On January 18, 2026, Elon Musk made a bold announcement: Tesla's future strategic emphasis will pivot towards its humanoid robot, Optimus. His vision is to metamorphose Tesla from a traditional automaker into a robot - centric company, one that's valued at a staggering $25 trillion. Musk put forth an ambitious plan to deploy one million Optimus robots by 2030. However, as things stand, the project's advancement has fallen short of expectations. It has failed to hit the 2025 production goal of 5,000 units. These robots are still grappling with substantial technological hurdles, particularly in terms of walking stability and autonomous operational capabilities.
