After years of trading barbs on social media, launching competing platforms, and even teasing a cage fight that never happened, the rivalry between Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk is moving into a new arena – the race for dominance in humanoid robots. This time, it’s not just about ego or ad revenue, but about shaping the future of work, life, and artificial intelligence.

Meta Bets on Glasses as a Gateway to Robots
At first glance, Meta’s new glasses may look like a futuristic gadget. In reality, they could become a key tool in developing robots that learn directly from human behavior. The glasses can record video from a first-person perspective and capture audio – material that can be used to train AI systems.
Meta recently demonstrated the glasses by having a chef prepare food for a party with the help of the built-in AI. The demo failed, but the message was clear: this technology is designed to observe, learn, and eventually pass those lessons on to robots.
According to Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas, as many as 20 million of these glasses could be in use within two years – nearly double the number of Tesla cars expected on the road. That means even ordinary home videos could turn into training clips for humanoid robots.
Meta is also developing Project Aria, another wearable device aimed at gathering AI and robotics data. “If you’re thinking about an AI that is always on, using cameras and microphones… that’s actually very similar to a robot,” said Andrew Bosworth, Meta’s chief technology officer, this summer.

Tesla and Optimus: Learning Through a Fleet of Cars
Meanwhile, Tesla is leveraging its network of more than 8 million cars, which collect vast amounts of visual data. This footage is used to train Tesla’s computer vision systems, and Elon Musk has repeatedly stressed that humanoid robots are the natural next step.
Tesla’s humanoid robot, Optimus, is being taught to mimic human actions, even from publicly available online videos. “We recently had a significant breakthrough and can now transfer a large portion of learning directly from human videos to the bots,” said Milan Kovac, then Tesla’s vice president, in May.
While Tesla works primarily with third-person footage, Meta gains a unique first-person perspective through its glasses. This could give Zuckerberg’s company a vital advantage. Musk, however, thinks bigger: he predicts there will be 10 billion humanoid robots in the world by 2040.

Zuckerberg Builds a Team of Top Experts
Meta’s robotics push is still in its early stages, but it’s moving aggressively. Zuckerberg recruited Marc Whitten, former CEO of GM’s self-driving unit Cruise, as well as MIT robotics professor Sangbae Kim, best known for his four-legged “cheetah” robot.
The company has been offering massive packages worth hundreds of millions of dollars to attract top AI talent. Zuckerberg calls this race toward advanced AI “superintelligence,” arguing it will shape not just robots but the future of all consumer technology.
In a recent podcast, he admitted the costs are staggering, but emphasized that speed is more important than money:

“If we end up misspending a couple hundred billion dollars, that would obviously be unfortunate. But if we build too slowly, then we lose our position in what I think will be the most important technology that creates the most products, innovation, and value in history.”

A Battle Over the Future of Life and Work
Meta and Tesla are heading into the same arena – humanoid robots capable of imitating human actions. While Musk relies on scale and data from millions of cars, Zuckerberg is betting on glasses that see the world through the eyes of their users.
The outcome of this race may determine not only which company dominates a new multibillion-dollar industry, but also how humans will one day live and work alongside machines.

Recently, Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Meta, the owner of Facebook, built a fortified complex on the island of Kauai in Hawaii. This project includes an underground bunker that some refer to as a design to protect his family in the event of global disasters or crises such as major wars or natural disasters.
The bunker was built deep underground, with an area of ​​5,000 square feet, and includes many rooms and security privileges. The construction of the bunker in this location may be related to his fear of the effects of political or economic crises that may occur in the future.
