Elon Musk has slammed recent media reports of a robot "attack" in a Tesla factory in Austin.

Axar.az reports that Musk wrote in an X post on Wednesday: "Truly shameful of the media to dredge up an injury from two years ago due to a simple industrial Kuka robot arm (found in all factories) and imply that it is due to Optimus now."

The Tesla CEO was responding to an X user who'd shared a Daily Mail report from Tuesday about a factory robot incident in 2021.

The Information had also covered the incident in a story published last month. According to the outlet, two witnesses said that an engineer was running software updates on the factory's robots when he was grabbed and pinned against the surface by one of the machines.
