Micron is favored over Tesla because humanoid robots like Optimus will need large amounts of HBM memory before Tesla's robot army pays off. Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra just said humanoid robots carry 10 times the memory of an average L2+ vehicle and expects a sustained multi-decade memory demand cycle to begin late this decade. Tesla stays out of favor for a while: its valuation is stretched, EV competition is heavy, and Optimus needs to be seen in the wild and in scalable production first. x.com x.com x.comÂ
