Robots Aren’t Sci-Fi Anymore—They’re on the Assembly Line

Via Tesla
Elon Musk recently announced that Tesla plans to build 10,000 Optimus robots in 2025, with some already performing tasks in Tesla factories. He envisions a future where Tesla produces 100 million robots per year, outpacing the company’s car business. Meanwhile, Figure Robotics plans to ship 100,000 humanoid robots over the next four years, having already partnered with major U.S. corporations.
This isn’t speculation—this is happening right now. And it’s not just about factories. These robots are being designed for commercial and home use. Imagine a humanoid robot in your house, folding laundry, cooking dinner, or even helping care for an elderly family member.
Why This Is Happening Now?
For decades, humanoid robots have looked impressive in carefully edited tech demos but struggled to function in real-world environments. They were clunky, slow, and barely capable of walking. But now, we’ve hit the perfect storm of innovation:
- Advanced AI: We can now talk to machines, and they can talk back—fluently.
- Breakthroughs in Robotics: Humanoid robots can walk, grab objects, and perform tasks with human-like dexterity.
- Falling Costs: Just like early computers, robots will start expensive but become more affordable with mass production.
The result? We’re months away from seeing real working robots in homes. Of course, like all new tech, it will start with the rich, then trickle down to the rest of us. But whether you can afford one or not, the world will never be the same.
Will We Hate Them? Absolutely.

Let’s be real—people hate change. We already see massive mistrust toward AI, robots, and the tech giants building them. People fear automation, corporate control, and what it means to have machines doing our jobs. And I get it.
But I also know this: the next generation will not be able to imagine a world without them.
We resisted computers. We resisted the internet. We laughed at the idea of smartphones. And yet, here we are—completely dependent on all of them. Today, people might see humanoid robots as unnecessary, creepy, or even dangerous. But for our kids? They’ll be as normal as microwaves.
The Biggest Shift Since the Internet
Think the internet changed everything? You ain’t seen nothing yet.
This is bigger than the internet, bigger than smartphones, bigger than any tech revolution we’ve lived through. Robots will reshape labor, economics, social structures, and the way we live our daily lives.
So, are you ready? Just kidding—it doesn’t matter if you are. The robots are coming, whether you like it or not. The only question left is: when will you get your first one?
