Elon Musk Just Unveiled Tesla’s New ‘Optimus’ Robot The Internet Wasted No Time Roasting It

Elon Musk has finally unveiled his company’s long-awaited Tesla robot “Optimus” and we’re not sure it got the response he expected…at least, from the internet. At Tesla’s “AI Day” event, the robot appeared from behind a set of double doors in all its metallic glory. It then did a little dance involving arm thrusts and some hip movement accompanied by an EDM song. Imagine baby boomers doing water aerobics except robotic and on a Tesla stage in California.

Elon Musk's entire schtick now is making a demo, smirking about how the companies who have already done a lot of work to get past the demo stage have "hit the wall," and then never even getting far enough to hit the same wall before finding a buzzy new domain to repeat the cycle.

“There’s still a lot of work to be done to refine Optimus and prove it,” Musk said as per . “I think Optimus is going to be incredible in five or ten years, like mind-blowing.” Right now, Optimus can water plants, carry boxes, and lift metal bars as per a video shown at the event. Musk said he wanted to sell the robot for USD $20,000 (AUD $31,000 ) and produce “millions” of them as per the . As far as a sales pitch goes, I’m not sure if I’d pay 30 grand to have a few boxes moved and some plants watered. However, Musk saw my critique coming a mile away and said the event was less of a sales pitch and more of an . Sure, king. This didn’t mean people on the internet weren’t going to rattle off a few spicy thoughts. Much of the criticism levelled at Musk related to his skill in keeping. As a publicly-owned company, launch events like these are key to keeping current investors happy and showing potential investors that Tesla is worth their money. Despite Tesla’s recent , Musk has seemingly been stuck in a loop of making big announcements, rarely delivering on them, and then making more announcements. A glaring example, is Tesla’s “Autopilot” self-driving feature which at all. One thing’s for sure, ain’t no way I’m forking out thousands of bucks for a robot that can’t even open a beer yet.
