Elon Musk's new Tesla Optimus robots appeared in a dystopian Christmas card-themed advertisement as the SpaceX founder moves forward with his plans to create a new Texas town.
In a Christmas Eve post on X, two of the Optimus robots were seen wearing a Santa Claus hat and Christmas sweaters - including one featuring a Tesla car that read 'Silent Night, Electric Light.'
'They grow up so fast,' the company wrote as it tried to advertise the $30,000 devices designed to help with household chores as a good present for the holidays.
Meanwhile, employees of his other company, SpaceX, gathered signatures and filed an official petition to hold an election in the first major step to create their own company town, called Starbase, in coastal South Texas, the New York Times reports.
If the petition were to be approved by a Cameron County judge, residents within a mile and a half of Musk's Starbase would be allowed to cast a ballot for three new city officials - including its first mayor, which it suggests should be SpaceX's security manager, Gunnar Milburn.
The petition describes a community of about 500 inhabitants, including at least 219 primary residents and more than 100 children.
Nearly everyone in the proposed town is a renter, living in company-owned homes around the company's main buildings and work for the rocket company.
