@SawyerMerritt @Tesla Let’s go!!

As of today, @Tesla is officially the first company to offer robotaxi rides to the general public with no safety monitors and using only cameras (no LiDAR or radar). And they said it couldn't be done 😎

@CernBasher Cern did that Optimus at any point hand out water while you were there? Or was it only the other one? Thank you

Optimus seemed curious about my shiny ✨ head! “So you’re the bot bull,” he said. I told him that there will be more Optimus on earth than humans one day. Optimus nodded slowly and said, “I know.”

@SawyerMerritt I was at the event just before this video was supposedly recorded and the background in this video does no match what was actually there. This leads me to believe this video is fake.

You think $TSLA stock is down 3.4% because one Optimus robot fell down? lol. It was already known that the Optimus robots serving people items at different Tesla events are tele-operated. People are making way too big a deal of this.

@AutismCapital Fake, this is what the real background looked like yesterday when I was at the event at around 6pm.

When the helmet comes off 💀😂

@Scobleizer Fake, this is what the real background looked like yesterday when I was at the event at around 6pm.

Elon is sandbagging. At a genius level.

The video of the Tesla Optimus “taking off its headset and disconnecting” is fake. I was at the #Tesla event in Miami yesterday and CLEARLY the background in the video does NOT match the REAL background. It’s an AI generated video. Here is what the true setting looked like.

@MobofJoggers Clearly the video is fake. The background doesn’t match.

Holy crap, I think he's right.

@XRoboHub @xdNiBoR Fake, this is what the real background looked like yesterday when I was at the event at around 6pm.

Holy cow, I legit thought this was AI-generated at first. Didn't expect Optimus to take such a brutal fall! 💥 It even smashed a water bottle with that arm swing on the way down. The power behind that looked intense. What happened? Did it just run out of battery?🔋

@ZacksJerryRig Fake, this is what the real background looked like yesterday when I was at the event at around 6pm.

to the moon tho

@Teslarati Fake, this is what the real background looked like yesterday when I was at the event at around 6pm.

🚨 Tesla Optimus mishap at the Miami event To be fair, don’t we all want to do this around the Holidays?

@cybrtrkguy Fake, this is what the real background looked like yesterday when I was at the event at around 6pm.

My Optimus after I make it wash and vacuum my Cybertruck for the 17th time today:

This is suspicious as hell. It was reportedly recorded at Tesla's 'Autonomy Visualized' in Miami this weekend and posted to Reddit. Optimus is seen falling backward after smacking some bottles to the ground. But the weird part is that just before falling backward, both of its hands immediately shoot up to its “face” in a distinct grasping motion, as if pulling an object off its head. It looks like someone is removing their VR headset.

@ElectrekCo @FredLambert Fake, this is what the real background looked like yesterday when I was at the event at around 6pm.

I thought this was AI!?! This really happened?

Other $TSLA story on Bloomberg this morning pushing TSLA lower. Tesla humanoid robot Optimus' actions during an event in Miami have raised fresh questions about the robot's autonomy. Optimus appears to take off headset during Tesla’s autonomy visualized event in Miami on Saturday. An Optimus robot can be seen standing behind the counter with bottles of water for the patrons of the event in a video that has surfaced on social media. The video showcases an Optimus robot mimicking a gesture of taking off a headset, except the robot wasn't wearing any headsets or headgear. The robot then falls to the ground, seemingly powered down. The incident has raised questions about whether the robots were being tele-operated rather than AI-driven as TSLA CEO Elon Musk has maintained. If tele-operated rather than AI-driven, Optimus would clearly not be scalable as it would need one tele-operator for every robot. The news comes as Tesla had recently showcased its Robot running across the floor, demonstrating life-like movements. The video comes as the Robot had previously showcased martial arts movements alongside an expert. Musk had claimed that the robot wasn't teleoperated and that the movements were all AI. The robot was also showcased at a movie premiere in Los Angeles. Musk had earlier also shared that the robot would represent 80% of Tesla's future value. The CEO has claimed that the robot would eradicate poverty, help Japan's labor shortages, as well as be an effective surgeon. YouTuber JerryRigEverything, aka Zack Nelson, took to the social media platform X to express his views on the matter. "to the moon tho," Nelson said, taking a swipe at Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who has predicted that SpaceX's Starship rocket would carry Optimus robots to space.  t.co/HIzuEWzcF7

@cixliv Fake video, this was the real background behind Optimus at the event.

If there was any question that Optimus uses teleop for their robots. Here one clearly has a guy take the headset off and it falls over. Absolutely hilarious though.

@garyblack00 Sorry to break it to you but the video is fake. This is what the background looked like 1h before this video was supposedly taken. I was at the event.

@thejefflutz @garyblack00 Jeff this video is fake. I was at the event just before this video was supposedly taken and this is what the background actually looked like. NOT all black background like the video suggests.

@garyblack00 Where is the benchmark of a humanoid serving drinks in public that works fully autonomously ?
