    Former Tesla Robotics Boss Casually Torches Elon Musk's Vision for Saving the Company

    But even the company's own former executives have some serious doubts about a fleet of bipedal robots as Tesla's saving grace.

    As the EV maker's first Optimus lead, Chris Walti, who left the firm in 2022, told Business Insider, humanoid robots simply don't make any sense in such a setting.

    "It's not a useful form factor," he said. "Most of the work that has to be done in industry is highly repetitive tasks where velocity is key."

    The human form "evolved to escape wolves and bears," Walti added. "We weren't designed to do repetitive tasks over and over again. So why would you take a hyper suboptimal system that really isn't designed to do repetitive tasks and have it do repetitive tasks?"

Elon Musk and I have agreed to a one-year partnership to bring xAI’s Grok to our billion+ users and integrate it across all Telegram apps'

    Under a one-year agreement, the Tesla owner would bring his AI chatbot, Grok, to Telegram. In return, Durov would get £223 million in hard cash and stock, and revenue from subscriptions.

    Announcing the partnership, Durov stressed that it ‘strengthens’ Telegram’s financial position. He added: ‘We will receive $300 million in cash and equity from xAI, plus 50% of the revenue from xAI subscriptions sold via Telegram'
