Musk Grilled in Interview Over Potential Acquisition Saga [VIDEO]

In a virtual interview at the X Takeover 2025 event, hosted by the Tesla Owners Silicon Valley club, Tesla CEO Elon Musk shared key updates on several of the company's ambitious projects.

Musk discussed Optimus V3, the latest iteration of Tesla's humanoid robot, expressing excitement about its potential to transform the company's valuation. He estimated that if Tesla successfully executes Optimus alongside autonomous transport, the company's valuation could reach between $20 to $30 trillion. This reflects significant advances in AI and robotics underpinning Optimus V3.

Regarding the Tesla Semi, Musk described it as part of Tesla’s broader push into revolutionizing transport. He promised substantial improvements in autonomous capabilities and sustainability for the electric truck, though specific new technical details were not extensively elaborated in the interview. Beta builds of the Tesla Semi are currently being tested, showing improvements over earlier versions.

The long-awaited new Roadster was mentioned within the conversation about Tesla’s future vehicle lineup. However, detailed updates about its launch timeline or specifications were not a major focus in this particular discussion. Musk did express excitement about the latest internal tech previews of the new Roadster.

For Neuralink, Musk emphasized breakthroughs in medical applications, especially aiming at solving root causes of complex diseases such as cancer through maximal truth-seeking and innovation. This signifies Neuralink’s expanding ambitions beyond neural enhancement toward impactful medical problem-solving. Neuralink's brain-computer interface may potentially treat chronic conditions like back pain.

The interview also featured a "super cool demo" for the new Roadster, and Musk discussed Tesla's plans for production equipment installation in the new facility for the Tesla Semi. Overall, the interview underscored Musk’s vision combining AI-driven robotics, autonomous transport, and neurotechnology as pillars of Tesla’s and affiliated ventures’ future, with particular confidence in Optimus V3’s disruptive potential and Neuralink’s medical breakthroughs.
