Elon Musk is trying to replace humans with human-like robots to work in factories and homes. Reports say his Tesla car company is already developing humanoid robots known as Optimus to work in homes and factories.

He told investors that the company is already the biggest robotics company and would increase its fleet of robots soon.
Elon Musk’s Tesla is about to expand its fleets of electric cars to legions of humanoid robots. According to fortune, the company seeks to unleash robots known as Tesla Bot or Optimus in its factories, homes, restaurants, cafes, and elsewhere.
Musk has other ideas where robots could be used
On Tesla’s website, dedicated to humanoids, several job listings show bi-pedal robots or Tesla Bot, indicating that the company is likely growing beyond factory bots.
On September 30, Tesla plans to reveal a prototype of Optimus, its humanoid robot. It was introduced first in August 2021 during Tesla’s A.I. Day. The company goes beyond logistics as Musk sees robots used in homes as friends or catgirls.
Musk had said that Tesla is already the world’s biggest robotics company because its cars are like semi-sentient robots on wheels.
He also told investors that the robots would be deployed in Telas plants to move parts around the factory, saying that the Optimus robots can be more important than the vehicle over time and provide much-needed labor.
Musk says world needs more babies
Previously billionaire tech entrepreneur, who has fathered 10 children, said on Monday the world needs to “make more babies” — and keep digging for oil.
The richest man on the planet, who has repeatedly warned that low birth rates posed a “danger” to civilization, said ahead of an energy conference in Norway that the world is facing a “baby crisis”.
Asked about the world’s greatest challenges, Musk cited the transition to renewable energies but also said the birth rate was “one of my favorite… things to be concerned about.”
“We don’t want the population to drop so low that we’ll just eventually die,” Musk, founder of American electric car manufacturer Tesla and SpaceX, told reporters in Stavanger, southwest Norway.
