Musk Postpones Tesla AI Day To September 30th

Electric vehicle major Tesla Incorporated's Chief Executive Officer, Elon Musk has postponed Tesla's AI Day to September 30th. Two weeks earlier, Musk had announced that the event will be held on August 19th. The billionaire tycoon cited the possibility of an Optimus prototype working by September being the reason behind the postponement. 

"Tesla AI Day pushed to Sept 30, as we may have an Optimus prototype working by then," he wrote on Twitter.

Optimus is a humanoid robot that Tesla is working on priority. Musk has previously said that it could be launched next year.

"Optimus could eventually address global shortages of labor, and in the short term might be able to carry items around a factory," Musk had said in January.

This is Tesla's second AI (artifical intelligence) Day, the first happened on August 19, 2021.

Musk, in one of his tweets in May, also said that the purpose of the AI day is to convince great Artificial intelligence, software, and chip talent to join Tesla.
