Portfolio Pulse from Anan Ashraf
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Inc, reacted to a CGI video featuring a gun-wielding Optimus robot, stating 'We could make it real, but that would be scary.' The video was not real and was created by the YouTube channel SoKrispyMedia. Musk had previously shown appreciation for the video but later expressed concerns about making such a robot. Updates on the actual Tesla Optimus bot were not provided during the last earnings call, but Musk had mentioned in July that the first Tesla-designed Optimus would be walking by November and could be useful in Tesla factories sometime next year.

Musk's reaction to the video could generate buzz around Tesla's robotics initiatives, potentially affecting investor sentiment. However, without concrete updates on the Optimus bot's progress, the impact on TSLA's stock price is likely to be neutral in the short term.
