00:00It's Benzinga, and here's what's on the block.
00:02Elon Musk tweeted on Monday that Tesla will have its Optimus humanoid robots in low production
00:07for internal Tesla use in 2025, and possibly high production for other companies in 2026.
00:14This is a delay from Musk's previous statement.
00:16Musk first announced Optimus in 2021, but it was just a person in a tight suit on stage,
00:22showing Tesla had nothing at that point.
00:24Tesla developed a functional walking, picking up robot, but was accused of deception when
00:28a video showed someone off-screen controlling the robot's folding motions.
00:33Musk was previously promising Optimus for Tesla factories by end of 2024 and customer
00:38deliveries in 2025, but has pushed this back.
