You've probably seen those viral posts
flooding your feed, the $79 Tesla
smartwatch, the revolutionary Pi phone
with Starlink builtin, maybe even those
Tesla AR glasses.
And you're probably wondering, should I
wait for these instead of buying that
Apple Watch?
Are these actually coming or is this
just another internet rumor?
Here's the thing. Elon Musk has been
dropping hints, but the truth about
what's real and what's pure clickbait
might shock you. So, in this video,
we're going to dig into every single
wearable tech rumor surrounding Elon
Musk's companies. We'll examine the
Tesla smartwatch claims, that infamous
PY phone, the AR glasses rumors, and
what's actually happening with XAI. By
the end, you'll know exactly what's
backed by real evidence and what's just
designed to get clicks, so you can make
informed decisions about your tech
purchases.
First up, we need to talk about Musk's
track record because understanding his
pattern of promises versus delivery is
crucial to figuring out what's actually
coming. Musk's track record, ambitious
promises, some hit, some miss. Here's
the thing about Elon Musk. The man has
literally landed rockets back on Earth
and put over a million Teslas on the
road.
SpaceX revolutionized space travel.
Starlink is beaming internet from
satellites.
These aren't small winds. But here's
where it gets interesting.
For every moonshot he's nailed, there's
a deadline he's blown past. Take the
robo taxi promise. Musk predicted fully
autonomous Tesla robo taxis by the end
of 2025. Tesla later admitted they
didn't hit that target. Reuters put it
bluntly, noting Tesla has repeatedly
fallen short of promises made by Musk.
But wait, before you write him off
entirely, consider this. Tesla still
delivered nearly 500,000 vehicles in a
single quarter of 2025, over 1.6 million
for the year. Those are record numbers.
What's happening now is fascinating.
Musk is pivoting hard, rebranding Tesla
from just a car company into an AI and
robotics powerhouse. He's talking about
AI based self-driving systems, robo
taxis, and humanoid robots as Tesla's
future. So, the pattern becomes clear.
Musk can absolutely make impossible
things happen. But his timelines, those
are more like aggressive suggestions
than hard deadlines. Why does this
matter for wearables? Because when you
see a headline screaming Elon announces
Tesla watch, you need to ask yourself,
is this actually from Tesla or is
someone banking on Musk's reputation to
generate clicks?
Tesla's rumored smartwatch.
Let's tackle the biggest rumor head on,
the Tesla smartwatch. You've seen it
everywhere.
$79 Tesla watch rivals Apple.
2025 Tesla smartwatch launches soon,
complete with sleek renders showing car
controls, health sensors, and Starlink
connectivity built right into your
wrist.
Here's what's actually true. In late
2024, tech journalists found something
interesting buried in Tesla's app code.
They discovered support for smartwatch
functionality. That sounds promising,
right? But hold on. This is where the
rumors diverge sharply from reality.
What Tesla is building is an app that
runs on existing smart watches like the
Apple Watch or Android Wear devices.
Itch post reported on this development,
but they were crystal clear about one
crucial detail.
Tesla is only focusing on app
development right now, not manufacturing
hardware.
There is no surprise that Tesla will
develop a smartwatch in the future, but
the company is only focusing on an app
for now.
Translation: You'll be able to control
your Tesla from your Apple Watch or
Galaxy Watch through Tesla's app. That's
useful, sure, but it's not a Tesla
branded smartwatch competing with Apple
or Samsung. Now, here's the kicker that
most viral posts conveniently ignore.
Back in 2020, when rumors of a Tesla
smartwatch collaboration surfaced, Elon
Musk himself shot it down on Twitter.
His exact words, definitely not.
Smartwatches and phones are yesterday's
technology.
He wasn't being koi or mysterious. He
flat out rejected the concept, adding
that neural links were the future
instead. Think about that for a second.
The CEO of the company publicly
dismissed smart watches as outdated tech
four years ago. Yet, YouTube thumbnails
and Facebook posts still push breaking
Tesla watch announced content every few
months. So, what's the verdict? Despite
countless clickbait articles, there is
no official Tesla smartwatch product.
Tesla is simply making sure their app
works on your existing wearable. Until
you see an announcement on Tesla's
official channels or hear it directly
from Musk during an earnings call, any
Tesla watch story is fabricated hype.
Could Tesla eventually make hardware?
Maybe. But right now, it's just an app.
Tesla's other rumored gadgets, phone,
glasses, etc. Tesla smartphone PY phone.
The Tesla smartphone rumor might be even
wilder than the smartwatch story. Posts
about a $29 Tesla Pi phone with built-in
Starlink, solar charging, and
cryptocurrency mining flooded social
media throughout late 2024 and into
2025. The renders looked professional.
The feature lists were ambitious, and
people absolutely believed it was
coming. Then Musk stepped in and crushed
the dream.
During a November 2024 podcast, he said
plainly, "No, we're not doing a phone.
Not maybe later, not we're exploring
options, just a flat no." He explained
that Tesla has zero plans to enter the
mobile phone market. But wait, the
rumors persisted. So, in October 2025,
Musk addressed it again. This time, he
got more philosophical, telling fans
that he doesn't envision Tesla building
traditional phones at all. Instead, his
future vision involves slim AI edge
nodes, minimal devices that connect to
powerful servers in the cloud.
Basically, he's thinking beyond what we
call phones today.
Tech fact checkers jumped on this story
hard. Multiple outlets confirmed that
every single Tesla phone post
circulating on Facebook, YouTube, or
Twitter was either baseless rumor or
deliberate satire.
There's no Tesla Pi phone. There never
was one in development.
The entire saga is internet fiction. For
anyone who got excited about controlling
their Tesla through a Musk designed
smartphone, I've got bad news. That
product doesn't exist and according to
the man himself isn't coming anytime
soon. Tesla AR glasses and other
wearables. What about augmented reality?
Surely Tesla's working on some kind of
AR glasses project, right? After all,
Meta has the Ray-B bands. Apple's
rumored to be developing vision
products, and AR seems like perfect
Tesla territory.
Here's where this gets interesting.
Tesla actually does have an AR glasses
patent.
Before you get excited, though, let me
tell you what it's for. Back in 2018,
Business Insider reported on a Tesla
patent filing for smart glasses. But
these weren't designed for consumers.
They're for factory workers. The patent
describes AR glasses that help Tesla
employees on the production line spot
welds, identify assembly points, and
improve manufacturing efficiency.
They double as safety glasses. It's
internal tooling, not a consumer product
you'd buy at Best Buy or where while
driving your Model 3.
Beyond that one patent, there's nothing.
No leaked prototypes, no job listings
for AR consumer product teams, no hints
during earnings calls.
The Tesla AI glasses rumors you might
have seen, pure speculation. Same goes
for any other wearable category. Rings,
bands, headphones.
Tesla's official online shop sells phone
cases, power banks, wireless chargers,
and novelty items like hats, or that
infamous tequila.
Zero wearables. Rumors versus reality.
Quick summary. Let me break down every
major wearable rumor in one clear list.
Smartwatch. App support confirmed.
Actual Tesla watch device not happening.
Musk literally called smartwatch tech
yesterday's technology. Phone explicitly
denied by Musk multiple times. Every
Tesla Pi phone story has been thoroughly
debunked by fact checkers. AR glasses.
Patent exists but only for factory
workers.
No consumer product announced or even
hinted at. Other wearables, everything
else, smart rings, anti-gravity shoes,
AI earbuds, is completely fabricated
clickbait with zero credible sources.
Here's what's actually happening.
Tesla invested 2 billion into Musk's AI
startup, XAI.
That money is going toward autonomous
driving and humanoid robots, not smart
watches.
Until Tesla's official channels announce
otherwise, the safe bet is that these
wearable gadget rumors are mostly
internet noise designed to generate
clicks and views.
XAI and Musk's AI gadgets. Since we
mentioned XAI, let's talk about what's
actually coming from Musk's AI company.
XAI's flagship product is Grock, the AI
assistant built into X, formerly
Twitter. Gro competes with ChatGpt,
Claude, and other large language models.
It's impressive tech. But here's the
thing. There's been zero announcement
about any XAI hardware.
Musk talks about his vision for future
devices. He's mentioned those AI edge
nodes I brought up earlier, super thin
smart devices that stream everything
from the cloud rather than processing
locally.
It's an interesting concept, but its
vision not product roadmap. XAI's actual
releases like Gro 4 are software only.
Now, some other AI companies are diving
into hardware. OpenAI is reportedly
developing pocket-siz devices for 2026.
Things like a voiceonly puck, AI
glasses, and wearable pins. But XAI,
radio silence on that front. There's no
evidence whatsoever that Musk's AI
venture is building glasses, headphones,
wearable scanners, or anything you'd
strap to your body. All we know for
certain is that XAI is focused on large
AI models. And Tesla's energy is
directed at automotive AI and robotics.
So, when you see content about XAI smart
glasses or the Tesla AI ring, understand
that it's pure speculation.
may be inspired by what competitors are
doing, but definitely not based on any
XAI announcements.
If Musk wanted to enter the wearable
market with XAI technology, he's kept
that completely under wraps, which
knowing how much he loves hyping his
projects on X, seems unlikely.
Why do these rumors circulate? This is
the question that's been nagging at me.
Why are these fake wearable stories so
persistent?
Why do they keep popping up even after
Musk himself debunks them? I think it
comes down to a few factors working
together.
First, Elon Musk has earned a reputation
for dropping surprise products. When he
says he's going to do something
impossible, sometimes he actually pulls
it off. That track record keeps fans in
a state of perpetual hope. Maybe, just
maybe, he'll reveal a Tesla watch at the
next event. But here's where it gets
manipulative. Content creators have
figured out that Elon plus new gadget
equals instant views.
Clickbait headlines work, especially
when they include specific price points
like 79R Tesla watch or $2.99 on PY
phone.
These posts often feature AI generated
images and fake product renders that
look legitimate at first glance.
Fact checkers have repeatedly debunked
these viral posts, but the damage is
done. Millions of people see the fake
announcement before anyone can correct
it. There's also confusion at play.
People mix up news about different
companies. Apple announces AR work. Open
AI experiments with voice devices. And
suddenly readers attribute those
developments to Tesla or XAI. It's an
honest mistake, but it feeds the rumor
cycle. Then you've got wishful thinking
from the Tesla community. Fans genuinely
want to control their cars from a
smartwatch. use Starlink from their
wrist or rock exclusive Tesla tech.
These ideas get shared as rumors even
without real evidence because they sound
cool and plausible. Finally, there's a
vacuum of information. Neither Tesla nor
XAI has confirmed any wearable product.
In the absence of official news, rumors
rush in to fill the gap. Human nature
abhores an information vacuum, so we
fill it with speculation and hope. The
bottom line,
reliable sources, official Tesla
statements, reputable journalism from
Reuters or Bloomberg, verified
announcements, simply haven't reported
any upcoming Tesla or XAI wearable. What
we have instead are Musk's own
dismissals and the occasional patent
filing to go on.
Conclusion:
Look, Elon Musk's companies could
absolutely surprise us with futuristic
gadgets tomorrow. The man has a history
of making the impossible happen.
But none of the current wearable rumors
are confirmed or even remotely
substantiated by credible evidence.
Tesla is focusing on what they do best,
apps, vehicles, and robots, not smart
watches or phones. Musk has explicitly
repeatedly shot those ideas down. He's
told us straight up that smart watches
are yesterday's tech and that Tesla
isn't making a phone.
Meanwhile, XAI is building AI software,
not consumer devices.
And when Musk talks about future phones,
he's describing something fundamentally
different from what we use today. So,
here's my advice.
Until there's an official reveal from
Tesla's newsroom, an announcement during
an earnings call, or a tweet directly
from Musk's verified account, treat
these wearable gadget stories as
unverified speculation at best, and
deliberate misinformation at worst.
For now, the Tesla smartwatch is just
the Tesla app running on your existing
Apple Watch or Android Wear device.
Useful, sure. Revolutionary hardware,
no. and the Tesla phone. That's a myth
Musk himself has debunked multiple
times.
I'll keep monitoring Tesla's and XAI's
official channels because hey, Musk has
surprised us before. Maybe he'll
announce something completely unexpected
at the next Cybertruck event or during a
random X space conversation.
But I'm not holding my breath on these
unconfirmed products.
