"Digital Optimus" pairs Grok with a Tesla-built agent processing real-time screen video + keyboard/mouse actions. Runs on the $650 AI4 chip. Musk claims it can "emulate the function of entire companies." The trademark was filed August 2025; the announcement directly contradicts his sworn claim of no xAI-Tesla overlap, strengthening shareholder lawsuits.
