In 2029, Optimus may land on the Mars by Starship. The background of announcement is that Tesla is facing keen competition and the sales is dropping in Europe but still with slight rise in China. However, the Full Self Driving project has just approved by China, but one week later, they suspended it.
Therefore Elon Musk stood up to give good news and asked employees continue to hold the stocks and do not sell during the downtrend. The price of Tesla rebounded nearly 10%. After Elon Musk shown his electric saw to cut the budget of government department, he was blamed very much and at length he said that he would get off the Department of DOGE in about one year’s time. For when he was involved in the government service of White House, people thought he would give up his business and the stock price of Tesla dropped dramatically.
In the 1960s, before Soviet Union and US sent astronauts to space, they send monkey into space first. Now Elon Musk will send humanoid robot instead of monkey. But the problem aroused in 2040, there will be 10 billion humanoid robot on earth which is more than human beings. What the world will be? It is not just a problem of raising unemployment rate, but will be a struggle between human being and robot.
As in the short term, Tesla is facing competition from Nvidia, Google, Apple, and Amazon which are keen competitors of high caliber. Those from China is chasing after even though still a distance but cannot be neglected. Hota Industrial Mfg of Taiwan is invited to join the supply chain of Optimus in the landing of Mars project. Thus investors can view this from both long term and short term scene. Please get ready to face the era of robots.
