The rivalry between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg is reportedly escalating from social media (Threads vs. X) to a potential battle over humanoid robots.
Musk’s Tesla is developing its “Optimus” robot, leveraging video data from its vehicle fleet for training. Zuckerberg’s Meta may counter this using its new AI glasses to collect vast amounts of first-person video data from users, which could be crucial for training robots for domestic tasks.
With billions of dollars and the future of labor at stake, the robotics race is set to become the ultimate contest between the two rivals.
