Milan Kovac joined Tesla in 2016 and led the Optimus humanoid robot initiative starting in 2022.

His departure is motivated solely by personal family reasons, not related to Elon Musk or company disputes.

The first Optimus prototype debuted in 2022, capable of moving at 5 mph and carrying 45 pounds.

Production timelines are postponed due to China's export restrictions on rare earth magnets.

I've been far away from home for too long and will need to spend more time with family abroad.
