Tesla’s humanoid robot project, known officially as Tesla Optimus, has quietly become one of the company’s most ambitious moonshots. V3 hints at a serious leap in interactivity — especially if it’s running on Grok, xAI’s sarcastic, Musk-brained chatbot. “Already does,” Musk confirmed when asked if Optimus runs a Grok voice assistant.

**Submission Statement**
The X platform is buzzing with excitement over Tesla’s Optimus V3, the latest iteration of Elon Musk’s ambitious humanoid robot project, as teased in a recent post by the tech visionary himself. Unveiled today, June 25, 2025, Musk’s cryptic yet enthusiastic comment (“Optimus V3 is going to be ”) has sparked a wave of anticipation among fans and tech enthusiasts alike. Additionally, Musk confirmed the Optimus V3 will be powered with a voice assistant based on Grok AI.
Yeah yeah yeah… and it’ll be ready in two years.
Stock manipulation.
Wonder if it’ll come with it’s own MAGA hat or will you need to purchase one separately?
That’s not a positive development though, Elon is altering Grok to give it a right-wing bias.
Seeing as how every Tesla tech demo and promise of dates has been bullshit I would take this with a pretty heavy grain of salt
It will require a vinyl wrap for structural integrity.
I trust Elon Musk’s tech as much as I trust a gas station sushi chef with a neck tattoo.
neat an “advanced” word guesser in a janky robot. the possibilities are limited
Meanwhile, the [gptars channel](https://www.youtube.com/@gptars) on youtube has published multiple projects that talk using chatGPT including a moving scale model of TARS from interstellar, which is amazing.
So robots will now occasionally deny the Holocaust?
Weren’t these [remotely controlled by humans last year ](https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-optimus-robots-bartending-controlled-by-humans-2024-10)? I flat out do not believe anyone could make that much progress in 8 months, much less a confused car company with lots of baggage.
Well if Elon confidently confirmed it: it musk be true right?
Just a reminder to everyone hammering this because of Musk: He has a proven track record of getting tech projects to a state where they are marketable. He may be an asshole and all the rest but he isn’t accidentally the worlds richest man.
“Musk confirms”
So, nothing is happening with the supposed “talking”.
I use grok for a lot of questioning daily ,it’s efficient not as politically restricted as Gemini or Chatgpt if it takes a human form it could be better
