On Tesla's earnings call, Musk continues to praise the Optimus robots for serving drinks and walking among the crowd at this month's event. No mention at all of them being overseen by humans. He also commended the performance of the Robotaxis. No mention of the event being staged on a movie set.

Musk describes the "We, Robot" event as "laying out our vision for the future, that I think is very compelling"... so, bullshit.
The event, he says, gave "people the opportunity to experience the future, where you'll have humanoid robots walking among the crowd. Not canned video presentation."
