“Poverty is an engineering problem [@tetsuoai] I see poverty as more of an engineering problem than an unsolvable social issue. With Grok and Optimus, we could solve the labor shortage, drive costs to near zero, and create a future where poverty is statistically irrelevant. The scale of whats coming over the next decade is”

“@Gfilche Major valuation change when there is unsupervised self-driving at scale and an even larger valuation change when Optimus reaches volume production”
“Optimus will eliminate poverty and provide universal high income for all [@MarioNawfal] ELON: OPTIMUS WILL ULTIMATELY BE BETTER THAN THE BEST HUMAN SURGEON “People often talk about eliminating poverty, about giving everyone amazing medical care. Well, there's actually only one way to do that, and that's with the Optimus robot. With humanoid robots, you can”
“@GavinSBaker @RealJimChanos Exactly. The reason Tesla hasn’t yet spent more on AI training is that it wasn’t yet the Limiting Factor for FSD. It will be that for Optimus, so we’re building Cortex 2 for training.”
“@niccruzpatane Looks like we can bring power consumption down closer to 250 Watts, which is a big deal for Optimus. Important to note that AI5 is a specialized inference chip for the Tesla AI software. That said, it will perform – for our purposes – much better than anything else available.”
“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.”
“@TomerHacohen @Tesla_Optimus @GoingBallistic5 @DrKnowItAll16 @LimitingThe @WholeMarsBlog I meant to say 50 actuators (25 in each forearm and hand)”
“Yes [@Teslaconomics] Elon believes Optimus will end poverty. “Imagine a world where everyone has access to the best surgeons, literally everyone. And Optimus will have the level of precision that is frankly superhuman. And will be able to do medical procedures, very sophisticated medical”

“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. 🖐️👏👏”
“Chip design review continues tomorrow, followed by Optimus demo review”

“@abhiyogi Slight chance of Starship flight to Mars crewed by Optimus in Nov/Dec next year. A lot needs to go right for that. More likely, first flight without humans in ~3.5 years, next flight ~5.5 years with humans. Mars city self-sustaining in 20 to 30 years.”
“Only way to learn the world [@SawyerMerritt] Elon: Tesla’s Optimus robot has a world model for training. (Optimus learned the tasks below directly from human videos)”
“@DrJimFan Tesla has this too for Optimus. As you say, it is essential for humanoid robot training.”
“Bear in mind, it is super fun, but just an early beta. Imagine will vastly improve in the weeks and months to come. [@niccruzpatane] Grok Imagine is seriously so impressive, even at its early stages. Check out the reflection in the mirror, and in the visor of Optimus.”
