Tesla CEO Elon Musk said Sunday that the company’s Optimus humanoid robot and Cybercab service will make up the “vast majority” of Tesla’s value in the future. His comments cast robotics and artificial intelligence as central long-term growth drivers, shifting attention from Tesla’s core electric vehicle business. Musk indicated that he sees greater potential for these ventures to scale economically.
Musk shared this outlook days before Tesla’s third-quarter earnings report on October 21. The results will reflect the performance of the automotive segment, while investors will also look for updates on the Optimus and robotaxi projects, which are becoming increasingly important to the company’s strategy.
