“Thanks Milan! You’ve built the Optimus team from nothing to the most sophisticated humanoid robot in the world.”
“🎯 [@Teslaconomics] It's hard to imagine a person NOT wanting his/her own personal humanoid robot and there are over 8B people on Earth today. It's also hard to imagine a business NOT wanting its own humanoid robot doing useful things and there are over 360M business on Earth today. This is what”
“Ever [@MarioNawfal] 🇺🇸 ELON: OPTIMUS WILL BE THE BIGGEST PRODUCT OF ALL TIME "The only company with all the ingredients for making intelligent humanoid robots at scale is Tesla. This is a super big deal. My prediction on this front is that Optimus will be the biggest product of all time by far.”
“Necessity is the mother of invention. The @Tesla_AI team is epicly hardcore. No one can match Tesla’s real-world AI. [@tslaming] BREAKING 🚨 TESLA HAS PATENTED A "MATHEMATICAL CHEAT CODE" THAT FORCES CHEAP 8-BIT CHIPS TO RUN ELITE 32-BIT AI MODELS AND REWRITES THE RULES OF SILICON 🐳 How does a Tesla remember a stop sign it hasn’t seen for 30 seconds, or a humanoid robot maintain perfect balance while… https://x.com/i/web/status/2012374751982092501”
“@alex_avoigt Almost all of Tesla’s value long-term will be from AI & robots, both vehicle & humanoid”
“@i_dg23 Tesla will have genuinely useful humanoid robots in low production for Tesla internal use next year and, hopefully, high production for other companies in 2026”
“@teslaownersSV @westcoastbill We have almost all the pieces needed for humanoid robots, since we already make robots with wheels”
“RT @Tesla_Optimus: Optimus will be the biggest product ever made. A general-purpose humanoid robot that can do useful work at scale will c…”
“RT @cb_doge: ELON MUSK: "Tesla is the only company with all the ingredients for making intelligent humanoid robots at scale. My prediction…”
“@DrJimFan Tesla has this too for Optimus. As you say, it is essential for humanoid robot training.”
“@WholeMarsBlog But when did they start vs when did we form the humanoid robotics team at Tesla?”
“RT @MarioNawfal: ELON: TESLA IS UNIQUELY POSITIONED TO MANUFACTURE A HUMANOID ROBOT “We really have by far the best team of humanoid robot…”
“RT @heydave7: Elon Musk is crucial to Tesla’s ambitious plans with AI and humanoid robots. He’s the best at motivating and retaining AI an…”
“Starship will hopefully depart for Mars at the end of next year with Optimus explorer robots! [@MAstronomers] This is Mars! 140 million miles away from us!”
“Tesla will be one of the companies to make AGI and probably the first to make it in humanoid/atom-shaping form”
“Exactly [@Tesla] Car-shaped robots”
“Your Tesla car will earn you money [@cb_doge] Tesla owners will have the ability to turn their cars into robotaxis. Technically, your car will earn money for you. It's like Uber, but the car drives itself.”
“Tesla Robotaxi unveil on 8/8”
“The rate of improvement is indeed rapid. There will be a legion of Optimus robots this year. [@cb_doge] How it started v/s How it's going”
“The @Tesla_AI robotaxi launch begins in Austin this afternoon with customers paying a $4.20 flat fee!”
“😂 [@iam_smx] Tesla Optimus robots, after learning that Elon Musk will power them with super-advanced Grok AI and send them to Mars on the world’s most powerful rocket, Starship.”
“It will change the look of the roads [@Tesla] Robotaxi details”
“Testing rubbing jeans on our seats 😂 [@Tesla] Our seats robot also has great jeans”
“Yes [@Teslaconomics] Optimus is going to be one of the biggest equalizers humanity has ever seen. Bc when every family can access a robot that delivers world class medical care, it means the quality of your health no longer depends on your income, your zip code, or your background. I get it now.”
“Advanced cybernetics are real [@MarioNawfal] CAN’T SEE, CAN’T WALK? ELON’S WORKING ON THAT Forget flying cars—Elon is out here casually curing blindness and giving people robot limbs you can control with your brain. His Neuralink brain chip can literally plug into your skull and talk to Tesla’s Optimus robot—so if you’ve”
“Thanks Jack ❤️ [@jack] cybertruck is the best robot out there”
“Try Tesla self-driving, it’s awesome! [@Scobleizer] Our robot has driven me and the family for two hours in driving rain across one of USA’s most dangerous roads. Without my hands touching the wheel once. It is how it handled pudddles, two brown streams crossing the road that most impresses me. While coming at us fast. None of”

“Doing my best to make this happen [@teslaownersSV] "There is only basically one way to make everyone wealthy, and that is AI and robotics." — Elon Musk”
“This is just the V2 Optimus hand. The V3 hand is another level beyond this. Exquisite engineering. [@mayemusk] Elon told me a few times that the hand is the most difficult part of the robot. 🖐️👏👏”
“And it continues [@teslaownersSV] The rate of improvement on the robot is absolutely insane”
“Yup 😂 [@teslaownersSV] Yes this is real. The Robotaxi network expanded and costs $6.90 per ride.”
“Waiting for Dutch authorities and then the EU to approve. Very frustrating and hurts the safety of people in Europe, as driving with advanced Autopilot on results in four times fewer injuries! Please ask your governing authorities to accelerate making Tesla safer in Europe. [@LinkN01] It's ridiculous how they have Robotaxis in Austin without ANY driver, yet my Tesla here in Sweden is not even allowed to change lanes on the highway without me confirming with the turn signal 🤡”
“Tesla Robotaxis were unaffected by the SF power outage [@MarioNawfal] 🇺🇸 SAN FRAN BLACKOUT – WAYMO FROZE, TESLA DROVE Waymo’s robotaxis got a little too real last night - by completely shutting down when San Francisco’s power outage knocked out traffic lights. Meanwhile, Teslas on FSD? Kept rolling. No drama, no headlines - just handling chaos… https://x.com/i/web/status/2002699317409186219”
“I forgot to mention that Optimus was doing this while “blindfolded”. We haven’t yet made vision part of the control loop for uneven terrain. Optimus robots are regularly cruising around our workplace in Palo Alto where vision is used for static & dynamic object avoidance.”
“Tesla should make 🔥 catgirl robots?”
“.@Tesla_AI [@farzyness] My thoughts after 3 Robotaxi rides: - Very smooth and comfortable. Similar to existing Tesla cars with FSD. - App UI is intuitive but can use a couple upgrades (placing a pin anywhere, change trip while in car) - It is completely and totally surreal. As a Tesla owner and”
“All your media, streaming and preferred temperature settings just work automatically when you get into a Tesla @Robotaxi [@robotaxi] Also, Robotaxi automatically syncs your media & streaming settings before picking you up”

“Just started Tesla Robotaxi drives in Austin with no safety monitor in the car. Congrats to the @Tesla_AI team! If you’re interested in solving real-world AI, which is likely to lead to AGI imo, join Tesla AI. Solving real-world AI for Optimus will be 100X harder than cars. [@Tsla99T] I am in a robotaxi without safety monitor”
“This bot got hands [@TheCaptainEli] Elon Musk on why Optimus is so brutally hard to build (hardware side): “The hands are the majority of the engineering difficulty of the entire robot.” Human hands evolved insane sophistication — ~27–28 degrees of freedom, complex tendon web (mostly forearm muscles), crazy… https://x.com/i/web/status/2022454161552417263”
