The Rising Influence of Rising Affluence

Is Optimus the newest shiny object? Almost all of Elon's tesla related predictions that propelled the company have been delayed, debunked or put off into the future. Now comes Optimus 2 with a new round of promises and predictions:

Tesla unveils Optimus Gen 2: its next generation humanoid robot

Ok....10 to 20 billion units, that seems a stretch

And on the setting expectations........Optimus will account for the majority of Tesla's long term value. No time line offered. Here's my prediction; you can put this in the same category as robotaxis, and full L5 capability is within our grasp. Sure, he can put them on Tesla's factory floor, helping to augment the dedicated production robots, but the next step, full human capabilities is many decades away.

Optimus will someday end poverty...............Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..

You can have one for about $20,000.......Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....

The hype machine lives on, rev up that PR market-cap helium machine!
