'Nice': Elon Musk responds to viral picture of humanoid Tesla Bot in Halloween costume

Last week, business magnate and Tesla Inc Chief Executive Elon Musk announced the electric automaker company is expected to launch a "Tesla Bot" humanoid robot prototype next year. Speaking at Tesla’s AI Day event, he had stated that the prototype will be designed for dangerous, repetitive, or boring work that people usually don't like to do. Terming what could be the next step in Artificial Intelligence (AI) for the company, Musk said that 5'8" tall robot would be able to handle a range of jobs, right from attaching bolts to cars with a wrench or picking up groceries at stores. As soon as the announcement was made, netizens flooded the social media with hundreds of memes on Musk's robot plan. However, it was one particular meme shared on Thursday which caught Musk's attention. A Twitter user with the handle name TeslaTruckClub shared a picture of the Tesla Bolt which looked liked Spiderman. “When Tesla Bot dresses up for Halloween @elonmusk," read the caption of the picture.
