Elon Musk’s Optimus humanoid robots steal show at Tesla event: ‘Will be the biggest product ever’

Tesla’s Optimus humanoid robots stole the show at Elon Musk’s splashy Hollywood event on Thursday night as they danced onstage, served up watermelon-flavored cocktails and charmed guests with their fun and friendly chit-chat.

Following Musk’s introduction, the robots emerged from parted curtains and walked into the audience in a single-file line. The faceless, tall figures with joint-like bends around the knees, hips, shoulders and elbows – can “basically do anything you want,” Musk said.

A bartending bot – which wore a cowboy hat – spoke with a shockingly humanlike cadence.

“How’s everybody doing?” it called out from time to time, with a a hint of a Texas drawl. “How am I doing so far?”

When one customer asked for a watermelon-flavored drink, Optimus double-checked their order: “A watermelon? ’Course you can!”

I’ve seen I Robot enough times to be paranoid. The only thing I can see why anyone would use this is to leave it outside their house is to collect packges and deter porch pirates.

I bet people are remote controlling these robots. Their movements look very natural for a robot.

Haven't we seen enough futuristic movies and books warning us about this? Unplug them and melt them down.

This would be cool if iRobot wasn't a movie

Not a fan of Musk, but as a techie enthusiast and admittedly a person with mild with aspergers, I find the work his companies and workers do to be absolutely fascinating.

We’re gonna be in Mitchells versus the machines with this one 🔥🔥🔥🗣🗣🗣

Houses and any place of business is going to need to be re-designed for these robots to function properly, and also be stored. It’s wild. 🍄🍄🧚🍄🍄🧚🍄🍄🧚
