Elon Musk's Optimus robot has been coming to work in factories "by the end of the year" for over five years now.
It's just another unsubstantiated promise he reuses every year just like the long promised full autonomy of his self-driving cars.
I'm actually surprised he hasn't started working on Fusion since that's similarly always just a few years away. It has been since the 1960s.
