Optimus Losing its Head – Tesla's $25 Trillion Dream in Jeopardy?
Milan Kovac, the leader of Tesla’s Optimus project, has departed. While he cites family reasons, one has to wonder if there's more to this story. Is this a sign of trouble for the humanoid robot program? Considering Elon Musk’s ambitious predictions for Optimus – transforming Tesla into a $25 trillion company – this departure seems significant.
What impact will this have on Optimus development and timeline? Can Ashok Elluswamy, now juggling Autopilot and Optimus, truly fill Kovac's shoes? Is Musk’s $25 trillion valuation realistic, or is it another bold overpromise? With production already hampered by supply chain issues, is this another nail in the coffin for Optimus? Or will this leadership shakeup ultimately benefit the program?
Share your thoughts. Is Optimus destined for greatness or destined to be another overhyped, under-delivered Tesla project?
