Tesla would benefit greatly because currently Tesla AI is focused on real-world physical applications, but would eventually still need an AGI-level LLM (Large Language Model) in the humanoid robot to converse and extend its capabilities.
We don't need an AGI for Optimus to converse. Something like ChatGPT fine tuned for the task should do it. To extend its capabilities sounds a bit dangerous to me, but not sure what he means.
I think Elon wants to
1. Make a ChatGPT competitor that cares more about the truth than being PC. Truth.ai.
2. Make an attempt at saving humanity from doom because he thinks he takes the problem more seriously than OpenAI
He sees some benefit for this for Twitter, Tesla, neural link and his other companies. Tesla gets a customer for Dojo compute and gets to learn to train NNs better. Twitter gets a better bot filter, auto-community notes. X get's a great personal assistant and improved fraud detection. Some combined symbiosis also, twitter has lots of data that Optimus and Neural link can use also. Tesla has lots of data X can use.
TLDR: Imo Elon wants to save humanity, bootstrap this by providing benefits to his current companies.
