"It's Optimus, the humanoid robot the company is developing to assist humans with everyday tasks. "~80% of Tesla's value will be Optimus," Musk wrote on X this month. Although Musk is involved in several business ventures - including aerospace manufacturing and AI development - creating an autonomous humanoid robot has long been a priority. In 2024, Musk told shareholders that Optimus could help Tesla raise its market cap to $25 trillion in the future."
"Musk teased Optimus V3 on X, calling it "sublime." "Even the most optimistic estimates that I've seen for Optimus - the Optimus optimist - I think underaccount the magnitude of what the robot will be able to do," Musk said. If Musk's predictions hold true, Optimus will help ensure that he meets the various thresholds on his $1 trillion pay package proposed by Tesla's board this month."
Tesla is developing a humanoid robot named Optimus to assist humans with everyday tasks. Elon Musk has said about 80% of Tesla's future value could come from Optimus and teased Optimus V3 as 'sublime.' Musk envisions Optimus raising Tesla's market capitalization to $25 trillion.

Optimus could also affect Musk's compensation targets tied to company valuation.
