So Musk and Agility are making humanoid robots for basically appearance. I could see Agility doing that because they do not have a brand but Musk? There isn’t any reason for him to do it. He is in the news every day already. Also there are to many people trying to make humanoid robots. Let’s see what they say.
Agility: Agility Robotics says that its manufacturing facility will be the first to mass-produce [humanoid robots] which could be nimbler and more versatile than their existing industrial counterparts.

China: The Chinese guidelines say industries like healthcare, home services, agriculture, and logistics will likely see a rise in the use of robots in the coming years. The country also wants to put effort into developing humanoids to work in harsh and dangerous conditions and within the manufacturing sector .
China plans to mass produce humanoids by 2025 - The Robot Report.
Musk: Musk said the bipedal gadget is meant to “navigate through a world built for humans.”
I do not think you would have all these diverse groups of people, all working towards humanoid robots, if it was just for appearance.
