Elon Musk predicts robot-majority future in first Davos appearance

  • At the World Economic Forum panel, Elon Musk said Tesla hopes to get supervised Full Self-Driving approval in Europe next month and possibly similar timing for China during a discussion with Larry Fink.
  • Regulatory delay and manufacturing S-curve dynamics drove the timeline concerns, as Elon Musk, Tesla CEO, linked Full Self-Driving approval in Europe to falling European sales and warned early Cybercab and Optimus production will be `agonizingly slow`.
  • Quoting factory progress, Elon Musk, Tesla CEO, said `Humanoid robotics will advance very quickly. We do have some of the Tesla Optimus robots doing simple tasks in the factory` with wider deployment expected `later this year`.
  • The market reacted with a stock jump and net worth gains for Elon Musk, Tesla CEO, though investor Michael Burry criticized Tesla amid production concerns Tuesday.
  • After prior 2025 claims, Tesla CEO Elon Musk now projects Optimus robots will be on sale to the public by the end of next year, forecasting billions for consumer uses like elder and pet care.
