Elon Musk Refutes Reports of Robot 'Attack' at Tesla's Texas Factory

Incident involved a standard industrial robot, not Tesla's Optimus bot, and occurred two years ago, Musk says

Elon Musk has criticized recent reports of a robot 'attack' at Tesla's Texas factory, stating that the incident occurred two years ago and involved a standard industrial robot, not Tesla's humanoid Optimus bot.
The incident involved a robot pinning an engineer against a surface and causing injuries, but Musk emphasized that the robot was a common factory automation system, not a Tesla product.
Reports suggest that nearly one in 21 workers at Tesla's Texas factory was injured on the job last year, a rate higher than the industry average.
Despite the incident, the injured engineer reportedly did not take time off work.
Concerns have been raised about the safety of automated workplaces, with some suggesting that injuries are underreported.
