Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has unveiled a new video of Tesla’s humanoid robot, Optimus, effortlessly performing everyday household tasks. The video quickly gained traction, drawing attention to Musk’s vision of AI-powered home assistants.
In the clip, Optimus is seen stirring a pot with a spoon, vacuuming the floor, and using a brush and dustpan to clean a table, all while calmly following instructions. Sharing the video, Musk wrote, “The biggest product ever.”

With over five million views, the video prompted an array of reactions. “Incredible progress, congrats!” a user congratulated Musk on the development. “This is going to change the way we think of our daily tasks. Imagine having one in your home and having to give it back. Nobody will want to be without one,” another user commented.
“That will be a boon. 5 years,” a third user reacted.
Earlier, Musk made a bold claim that Optimus will be the most significant product of any kind ever made. This latest reveal follows Tesla’s “We, Robot” event held in October 2024 at Warner Bros. Discovery’s studio in Burbank, California. At the event, multiple Optimus units interacted with attendees, offering a rare glimpse of the robot in action. Musk had also announced the expected price range between $20,000 and $30,000.
“It can be a teacher, babysit your kids, walk your dog, mow your lawn, get groceries… whatever you can think of, it will do,” Musk told the audience.
This isn’t the first time Tesla has teased Optimus’s capabilities. In a post from last year, the company released a video of the robot confidently walking over uneven, mulch-covered terrain, without any human assistance. Musk emphasised that Optimus was “relying solely on neural networks” to navigate and move its limbs, with no remote control involved.
