In a YouTube clip, Sam Parr discusses Elon Musk’s announcement that Tesla is developing a humanoid robot called Optimus. Parr emphasizes that the Optimus project is vastly under‑discussed yet, in his view, will eclipse Tesla’s core businesses—cars, self‑driving, and solar—by becoming the largest industry in the next 10‑15 years. He cites his personal investment in the robotics startup Figure and a conversation with its founder Brett Adcock, who convinced him that humanoid robots could outnumber humans, underscoring the massive economic and societal impact he anticipates.

Elon Musk said that Tesla is working on humanoids. I think it's called Optimus. And he went on to say, not a lot of you people are talking about Optimus. I think that's crazy because this is actually going to be bigger than our car business, bigger than self-driving, bigger than solar. It's going to be bigger than everything. And I don't think you guys realize how big this is going to be. I invested in this company called Figure, and I talked to Brett Adcock, and he basically has me convinced that this is going to be like the biggest industry in the next like 10 or 15 years. I think this is so big that there's going to be more of these robots than there are humans.
