Tesla CEO Elon Musk held a surprise public live-streamed meeting with employees, marking the first time the company has done so. The event came as the automaker faces expectations of delivering fewer cars than in any quarter over the last three years.
During the meeting, Musk discussed Tesla’s production milestones and safety data. He also talked about his vision for a sustainable economy and how AI and robotics will play a key role in achieving it. Additionally, he shared updates on various projects, including Optimus, the company’s humanoid robot initiative, which aims to produce 50,000 robots by 2026.
Musk addressed questions from employees and claimed that Tesla is making significant progress with its autonomous vehicle technology. However, some critics have questioned the authenticity of certain claims made during the meeting.
The live stream, which was initially posted on X, featured a mix of scripted and unscripted moments, raising concerns about the tone of the event. While Musk presented himself as optimistic about Tesla’s future, the company’s stock price remains under pressure, down 40% so far this year.
Despite the challenges facing the company, Musk expressed confidence in his team’s abilities and highlighted several milestones achieved by Tesla, including the production of over 7 million vehicles to date.
