Could Tesla become the world's most valuable company, not because of its cars, but because of robots? Elon Musk seems to think so, predicting a potential 10 trillion dollar revenue stream from Optimus, their humanoid robot. This raises some fascinating questions. Is this bold prediction realistic, or just another example of Musk's hype machine in action? Could a humanoid robot, even at a relatively affordable price point of under 25,000 dollars, truly revolutionize households and industries to that extent? Considering the smartphone market's multi-trillion dollar value, is it so far-fetched to imagine a similar, or even larger, market for robots? What ethical and societal implications might arise from widespread adoption of humanoid robots? I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this. Are you as bullish as Musk on the future of Optimus and its potential to transform Tesla? Or do you see this as a distraction from their core business? Share your perspectives and let's discuss.
