On Friday, Milan Kovac, one of the architects behind Musk’s bid to build humanoid helpers, tendered his resignation, effective immediately. Kovac took to X shortly thereafter, calling his departure "the hardest decision of my life" and citing a longing to "spend more time with my family."

This marks a significant leadership shakeup for Musk, who’s been positioning robotics as Tesla's next big frontier. Optimus, however, hasn’t exactly wowed since its 2022 debut, when a prototype was famously wheeled out by humans, barely functional. Fast-forward to October: sleek demos in Los Angeles featured Optimus units slinging drinks and charming investors. But much of the “wow” factor was tempered by reports that some tasks were remotely operated by humans.
