Tesla Takedown group prepares anti-Elon Musk effort on November 15 - Teslarati
The planned demonstrations follow Tesla shareholders’ recent approval of CEO Elon Musk’s 2025 performance award, a landmark pay plan that could make him the world’s first trillionaire if key performance and valuation goals are achieved.
Key takeaways
Elon Musk says Tesla’s humanoid robot, Optimus, is now moving from prototype to mass production and will become a cornerstone of the company’s future. At the 2025 shareholder meeting he announced that the first production line will be built at the Fremont plant, targeting roughly one million units per year, with the potential to scale to ten million annually at Gigafactory Texas and even a speculative 100‑million‑unit line on Mars. Musk linked the robot to a “sustainable abundance” vision, claiming Optimus could be “the biggest product of all time,” dramatically boost productivity, eliminate poverty and enable a form of universal basic income. He also tied the robot to his new performance‑award compensation plan, which requires Tesla to deliver one million Optimus units to unlock a valuation tranche. The rollout is positioned alongside other AI‑driven initiatives such as robotaxis and the upcoming Cybercab, underscoring Musk’s belief that humanoid robots will reshape the global economy.
