Elon Musk, already the world’s richest man, is now on the path to becoming its first trillionaire. Tesla’s shareholders recently approved a massive pay package for the CEO, including some $1 trillion in stock options. But the payout will happen only if certain targets are met—including Musk’s successful deployment of 1 million Optimus robots.
Named after a Transformers character, because of course it is, Optimus is a humanoid machine that’s supposed to be able to complete boring and dangerous work in place of humans. Optimus would be able to do factory work, sure, but that’s just the starting point. Over time, Musk has said, Optimus could unleash unprecedented economic and societal change as a source of tireless, unpaid labor that can be trained to do anything.

A Tesla army controlled by Elon Musk.
What could go wrong? Soulless robots following the commands of a person with multiple personality disorders.

We need to stop these megalomaniacs like Musk before it’s too late. They are literally trying to build Skynet.

What could possibly go wrong?
Well i guess a lot, since he could manufacture whatever he wants, fire all his workers and keep up the production levels. And not one of them will complain on X.

Do we know if the army is already built and are they just floating the idea to get us used to it.
I imagine a yard of trashed robots junkyard like we see the failed Citybike junkyards in China.

Will they also spontaneously combust? That feels on brand for Tesla.
