Elon Musk erases doubts about his robot Optimus by making it dance.

The future of domestic help lies in robots. This phrase, which sounds like something straight out of a dystopian literary script, will become a reality if Elon Musk 's dream of Tesla Optimus comes true. The development of the robotic "butler" reminiscent of Star Wars' C3PO is making leaps and bounds, as demonstrated by the latest video shared on social media by the CEO of Tesla and X.

In it, Optimus demonstrates his dancing abilities and, furthermore, his ability to correct himself if he loses his balance, which serves as an example of his versatility in the event of an incident on the terrain where he operates. The robot acts like a true Fred Astair , something that, in addition to the anecdote itself, allows us to test his agility and abilities.

"I was just warming up," they joked in the long version of the video they shared in response to the initial 6 seconds uploaded on X by Elon Musk himself.

The humanoid robot Optimus, designed to act as a personal assistant , promises to automate everyday tasks such as cleaning, shopping, watering plants , and even serving as a playmate . Elon Musk envisions a future of abundance in which these robots will be as common as electric cars, with a price tag that could be around $20,000 to $30,000 , less than the cheapest Tesla car.

Despite ambitious promises of mass production, the concrete progress presented so far has been more modest. In the initial demonstrations, Optimus was limited to waving his hand, playing rock-paper-scissors , and handing out small gift bags , which has left some doubts about his true short-term potential. Now, with this dance demonstration, they hope to erase any doubts once and for all before mass production begins.
