A new Tesla robot is coming soon, which Musk says can do “anything you want”, so of course, the internet made memes. 

Tesla has unveiled brand new innovations recently if they can be called that. One of them is a self-driving cab, and then a Tesla van, and another is a robot. Though officially named the Tesla Optimus, the internet has referred to it simply as the Tesla robot. Though it seems like a big innovative step in technology, the internet and its collective derision of Tesla’s founder, Elon Musk, have taken to the Platform Formerly Known as Twitter, which Musk ironically owns, to populate it with Tesla robot memes.

The best memes about the Tesla robot that can do “anything you want”

 

At the reveal event, Musk said that they were improving year after year in the development of the robot and claimed that people can have their “own personal R2-D2, C-3PO” soon as per a report by Complex.

“It’ll do basically anything you want. It can walk your dog, mow your lawn, get groceries…be your friend. Anything you can think of, it will do,” he said. That, of course, sent the internet scrambling to make memes. 

The robot has not only generated memes but also criticism for its design, specifically from filmmaker Alex Proyas. Proyas directed the 2004 movie I, Robot, starring Will Smith, which told the story of an intelligent robot that seemed to have violated its protocol of not harming humans. The design of the robots in the film is eerily similar to that of the Tesla robot and so are the newly unveiled cab and van, prompting Proyas to tweet, “Hey Elon, can I have my designs back please?”

Netizens wasted no time in making memes about the Tesla robot, and we’ve compiled some of the best we’ve found here.
