Musk expects ~80% Of Tesla's value will be Optimus robots [1]. It can't be any other way given that he helped elect a President that's against electric cars, against regulation for limiting climate change, against collaborating with our European allies.

I expect that to go about as well as Facebook changing their name to Meta and putting all their eggs in the Metaverse/VR basket...

But at least Meta's legacy businesses (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp) were still valuable enough to fall back on - whereas Tesla's seems to be tanking. Only their utility-scale fixed battery business seems to have much potential if they can't turn around their dwindling car business.

Well one way to do that is destroy so much of Tesla that the Optimus division is 80% of the (much smaller) value that remains.
