That's not how this process works. Starting with the salesmen concept. Tesla's long-term goal has been to create a highly automated, "lights out" factory. Tesla's Optimus Humanoid Robot will start out working alongside humans until it replaces them in a lights out factory.
Someone has to design, build, operate and maintain the robots, also the salesmen that sell them.to different companies and the people required to manufacture the raw materials to make them. There might be a net gain of jobs in the long run

@fanuc2013 There might be a net gain, but if there is it will be wholly unintended and independent of the strategies of Bezos and Musk. They are investing in automation to reduce wage bills and oversight by government and other authorities responsible for worker welfare. If automation actually resulted in more pesky humans on the books, they would look a bit silly.
