Thats definitely not a valuation youd expect for a company that had any chance of delivering. General purpose humanoid robots are the other half of the AI-singularity-permanent oligarchy vision: data centers to replace knowledge workers and robots to replace physical labor, then...I dont know, fly off to Mars or something?
Anyway, if there was a chance they were close to producing a robot that could actually function as a human analog they should be pushing a trillion dollar valuation in this market.
You assume that the market is rational. I think we left that road some decades ago.
The market is people. People have never been rational.
