Musk sees a future where humanoid robots become central to industry, policy, and daily life, with AI advancements making them an unstoppable labor force. However, Tesla's core business, electric vehicle (EV) sales, has been declining. In the first six months of 2025, Tesla delivered 720,803 EVs, a 13% decline compared to the same period last year. This decline has had a significant impact on the company's total revenue, which suffered a 9% year-over-year decline during the first quarter, followed by an accelerated drop of 12% in the second quarter [1].
Despite these challenges, Musk remains optimistic about Optimus and its potential to revolutionize various industries. The robot is designed to perform a wide range of tasks, from manufacturing and construction to healthcare and retail. Musk believes that Optimus could become a significant part of the global economy, contributing trillions of dollars in revenue over the long term [1].
However, the success of Optimus will depend on several factors, including regulatory approval, market acceptance, and competition from other companies. While Musk's vision is ambitious, it remains to be seen whether Tesla can execute on its plans and realize the full potential of Optimus.
