Elon Musk's Optimus Robot Project Faces Challenges

Elon Musk's Optimus Robot Project Faces Challenges

Elon Musk's company, Tesla, is working on a robot called Optimus.

Some experts are having a hard time figuring out how much money Tesla could make from this robot because it's a new idea.

One group, ARK Invest, thinks the robot won't be ready to sell and make money until after 2029.

They believe the first robots won't be able to do many tasks.

However, they also think Tesla has some big advantages, like being good at making robots and having a lot of experience with artificial intelligence.

So, even though it's a challenge, Tesla might do well in this new robot market.
