Musk said Tesla Robots can develop personality and ended selling Tesla stock

On December 30, according to media sources, Musk said in an interview that Tesla robots will not just be a humanoid robot that can complete repetitive tasks, it may develop its own unique personality. Tesla robots could become human companions like C3PO( the ceremonial robot in Star Wars), he said.

Musk announced Tesla's robotics plan earlier this year.

In addition, Musk also said that SpaceX can send humans to Mars in the fastest 5 years and 10 years at the latest.

He said the deciding factors included "rocket engineering." Starship is the most complex and advanced rocket ever built. The fundamental optimization of Starship is to minimize the cost of each orbit entry.

Previous experts have said that if SpaceX's progress is not smooth enough in the three remaining launch opportunities before 2026, it may take longer to land on Mars. Musk's ultimate plan is to build 1,000 Starship rockets that launch 3 a day and eventually send 1 million people to Mars.

According to official sources, Musk has exercised all of his options that will expire next year, which means he will end selling his Tesla shares.

Musk has sold $16.4 billion worth of Tesla stock since early November.

On Dec. 28, Musk exercised the last option on 1.6 million shares and sold 934,090 of them to pay taxes. Overall, Musk sold a total of 15.7 million shares of Tesla stock, roughly equivalent to the 10 percent stake he promised to sell.

Previous media reports have reported that Musk is the richest man in the world with a net worth of $276 billion, and he will pay more than $11 billion in taxes this year.
