What was said

"When a humanoid robot costs less to lease per month than the fully loaded cost of a human worker doing the same job, the procurement conversion inside every major manufacturer changes permanently. That crossover just happened."

The speaker claims that humanoid robot leasing costs have crossed below human labor costs for the first time, marking what they characterize as a decisive economic inflection point. This cost parity is compared to similar transformative moments in solar, cloud computing, and electric vehicles. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are cited as projecting hundreds of thousands of annual humanoid shipments by 2030, scaling to over 10 million units by 2035.
