Milan Kovac, head of the Optimus robot program at Tesla, has resigned unexpectedly, stating his decision was personal and due to family commitments. His departure aligns with a chaotic week for Tesla, particularly with Elon Musk's controversial interactions on social media. Kovac reassured colleagues his resignation has no underlying motives, expressing unwavering support for Musk. Despite his assertions, skepticism remains regarding the true reasons for his exit, especially given the mixed success of the humanoid robot program under his leadership.
This week, I've had to make the most difficult decision of my life and will be moving out of my position. I've been far away from home for too long.
It was an honor working with you. Enjoy the time with family.
I want to make it clear that this is the only reason, and has absolutely nothing to do with anything else.
Beyond Musk's no-good very bad week, Kovac's leadership of Tesla's humanoid robot program has left much to be desired.
