“Elon’s Tesla Optimus is here! Dawn of the physical Agentforce revolution, tackling human work for $200K–$500K. Productivity game changer!” Benioff wrote on X, adding a personal note: “Congrats @elonmusk, and thank you for always being so kind to me!” The tweet was accompanied by a video showing Benioff interacting directly with one of Tesla’s humanoid robots at the company’s California facility.
