Tesla’s humanoid robot will one day be the most valuable part of the company’s business, CEO Elon Musk predicted on Wednesday.

Musk said on Tesla’s first-quarter earnings call that the importance of the robot, dubbed Optimus, “will become apparent in the coming years.”

“I was surprised that people do not realize the magnitude of the Optimus robot program,” Musk said Wednesday evening. “Those who are insightful or who listen carefully will understand that Optimus ultimately will be worth more than the car business and worth more than full self-driving. That’s my firm belief.”
