On August
20, Musk posted that these highly dexterous humanoid robots would provide
incredible care to everyone on Earth, tackling doctor shortages and issues like
back pain from his own neck surgeries.
He described Optimus as surpassing the best human surgeons with superhuman precision, tireless operation, and scalability for global demand, while Grok handles diagnostics and decisions.
Supporters see this as a way to bring elite medical expertise to remote areas, though some raise concerns about timelines, safety, and regulations as Tesla advances prototypes.
