🚨ELON MUSK: "This year we hope to make about 5,000 Optimus robots...but even 5,000 robots is the size of a Roman legion FYI. That's a scary thought, a legion of robots. I think we'll literally build a legion of robots this year, and maybe 10 legions next year? It's kind of a cool unit: units of legion." 💀
"It will be ready to be used outside of a Tesla controlled environment second half of next year. We'll offer Optimus robots first to Tesla employees."
Starship departs for Mars at the end of next year, carrying Optimus.

The “Oxford Dodo” is the only dodo specimen with surviving soft tissue. Originally part of the Tradescant collection—one of the Ashmolean Museum’s founding holdings—it was cataloged in 1656 as “Dodar, from the Island Mauritius.”
Today, only its skull (with preserved left-side skin), eye sclerotic ring, foot skeleton, sectioned femur, a feather (removed in 1986), and assorted tissue samples remain, housed at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History.
