You’ll recall that Optimus is the name given to the humanoid robot that Musk said will take on the repetitive, boring tasks that humans are loath to do.
Like give Elon handjobs?

Who thought that was the look human beings would want for robots?

Although, at least it’s not a blow-up doll style, I’ll give him credit for that.

I think Muskrat would be happy if the entire economy tanked, so long as it put more money in his pockets. And considering he made blatant attempts to manipulate Twitter’s stock price via his social media posts, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if that comment of his wasn’t some 4-D chess-type stratagem to recoup his recent losses on his Tesla stock.
Tl;dr: see thread title. There’s the Tweet.

As far as I can tell, because Elon Musk. We’ve all seen how he gets Musk bros to believe in him in spite of everything…more important is that he does with investors. And so despite everything happening at Tesla, it doesn’t fail because they won’t let it fail – because Musk is going to bring about a profitable new future of self-driving cars and Martian colonies any day now.
