In the blog section, it was mentioned that Musk emphasized the utmost significance of Tesla's robot program during the presentation of the Optimus bot. He expressed that this particular project holds immense importance within the company and is expected to generate substantial revenue, potentially surpassing that of Tesla's electric vehicles. Musk was further questioned about the advancement of the Optimus project, particularly regarding the number of robots Tesla has developed since its initial unveiling in 2022, during the recent Tesla earnings call.

Musk did not provide an exact count of the created Optimus bots, but he did mention the possibility of manufacturing robotic appendages that can be operated through a brain implant. This neural implant would be designed by Neuralink, one of Musk's other enterprises. By integrating robotic limbs with Neuralink implants, individuals who have lost their limbs could potentially regain complete command over prosthetic arms and legs.

According to Musk, Tesla has the potential to offer individuals who have undergone amputations a robotic limb that is just as good, if not superior, in the long run compared to a natural one. Additionally, he stated that Tesla is determined to provide an immensely capable cyborg physique.

Currently, there is no information available regarding the official release of the Optimus robot or any of Tesla's robotic appendages.

In additional updates, an aviation enterprise is in the process of creating a spacecraft that is anticipated to transform interstellar voyages throughout our solar system.
