Tesla employees will be the first to gain access to the robots, he said, adding that one day they will function as characters from Star Wars R2-D2 and C-3PO.

“We will first offer Optimus Robots to Tesla employees,” Musk said. “There are some advantages and downsides to that – there are probably a few mistakes. But it will be very cool.”
