The billionaire has been pushing Tesla to cut costs as car sales weaken.
Tesla boss Elon Musk says the electric car maker will start producing and using humanoid robots from next year.
On Tuesday, the company reported that profits had dropped by nearly half for the three months to the end of June, falling from $2.7bn to less than $1.5bn , as a sales slump weighed on the bottom line.Tesla said its automotive revenue fell 7% year-on-year in the quarter, despite a flurry of price cuts and other incentives aimed at enticing customers.Tesla's shares fell by almost 8% in after-hours trading.
"Tesla will have genuinely useful humanoid robots in low production for Tesla internal use next year and, hopefully, high production for other companies in 2026," Mr Musk said on his social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
