Elon Musk confirms the progress of the humanoid robot Tesla Optimus: it dances like a human and will cost slightly less than a car. It's designed to help perform household tasks safely.

Since Elon Musk introduced the project in 2021, the evolution of the robot has been significant. Recently, Musk himself posted a video on his X account showing Optimus performing a brief but impressive choreography with precise movements, great balance, and remarkable flexibility.

The clip, which lasts only six seconds, has attracted attention due to the fluidity of the robot as it moves.

The estimated price of the robot will range between 20,000 and 30,000 dollars (approximately between 17,000 and 26,000 euros), with the aim of making it accessible to the general public. Musk stated that in the long term, he expects Optimus to be cheaper than a car. "I think it will be the best product ever created, whatever it is, as I believe everyone will want an Optimus," he said on X.
