The Street ^ | 6/9/25 | Samuel O'Brient

As Elon Musk shifts his focus back to Tesla (TSLA) amid an ongoing disagreement with President Donald Trump, his company is preparing for another leadership change.

The automaker has expanded into other areas of technology in recent years, prompting its leaders to consistently remind investors that it is more than just a car company. In particular, Musk has touted Tesla’s Optimus program, its division that develops robotic humanoid technology.

The Tesla CEO hasn’t downplayed Tesla’s progress in this area, describing its Optimus bot as the “most sophisticated humanoid robot on earth,” and describing a future in which humans are outnumbered by robots. This may sound like the plot of a science fiction novel, but Musk has made it clear he believes it is an inevitable phase of technology.

I’m hoping to have access to an Optimus before I’m physically totally broken down and a burden on my family.

Remember this; Tesla is the representative stock ($TSLA) for :

Tesla
SpaceX
xAI
X (Twitter)

That is a HUGE market in Aerospace, AI, Technology, Automotive, and more. There’s not reason not to be in this stock. Buy on the dips.

We already have loads of robotic humanoids. Just look at the streets of L.A. these last few days.

They suck!

“Milan Kovac revealed he would step down from his position as vice president of engineering at Optimus.”

The headline is misleading, of course. “...as leader announces exit”

Tesla’s leader is Musk. Kovac is leaving for personal reasons having nothing to do with Musk.

Lots of ways to use Optimus before you’re physically broken down and a burden. Optimus can accompany you on walks through the neighborhood, offering insightful conversation. Or if that’s too tiring, he can sit with you on your deck and converse, with his access to AI the conversations can be stimulating. And if you’re really weak, Optimus can give you a massage while talking.

The one thing Optimus can’t do is drink beers with you, get drunk and punch you because of insults. But Optimus can clean up your barf. Just don’t let the family see the interaction, because they’ll want to kick you out and keep Optimus as a replacement.
