According to a Bloomberg report, Tesla employees remotely oversaw interactions between the Optimus robots and attendees of the event.
However, the sources report the Optimus humanoid robot prototypes were able to walk unassisted using AI. Read Next: What’s Going On With SoFi Technologies Stock?
Several videos posted on social media show event attendees interacting with the robots who served drinks, sang “Happy Birthday” and even danced with guests. A video posted on X shows an Optimus robot serving in a bartending role and confirming he was being remotely assisted by a human.
"Today, I'm assisted by a human. I'm not yet fully autonomous," the Optimus robot said in the video.
Another video shows a guest asking Optimus how much of the robot is controlled by AI.
“I can’t disclose just how much, that’s something you’ll have to find out later,” the robot said. “I would say, it might be some. I’m not going to confirm, but it might be some.”
Some Tesla influencers and investors said they felt betrayed or misled by Tesla's nondisclosure of Optimus' human assistance. But several analysts felt Optimus' interactions with guests at the event were impressive and are a potential catalyst for the company.
Wedbush's Dan Ives highlighted "the massive improvements in Optimus” and said Cybercab and Optimus “could be a major financial contributor to Tesla” following last week's event.
TSLA Price Action: According to Benzinga Pro, Tesla shares ended Monday's session 0.62% higher at $219.16.
