What Is a 'Clanker'? New Slur for Robots Catches On
Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content.
A new term used by people who aren't happy about the growing presence of robots and artificial intelligence in daily life has emerged.
"Clankers," a term from Star Wars lore used by humans and clones to derogatively refer to robots, has caught on. While its use began ironically, the growing adoption of automation in almost every facet of life has some people using the term more seriously.
What Is a 'Clanker'?
The term first appeared in the Star Wars franchise. During the Clone Wars, a conflict between the republic and separatists, the latter used an army of robots called droids. So the word "clanker" became a common derogatory term used by protagonists toward their robotic enemies.
In 300 years when AI are sapient, Clanker will be seen as a legitimate slur against them and people will go back and watch the Clone Wars like "Wow I can't believe they were allowed to say that back then" — Time 🏴☠️ (@TimeDragon1) July 19, 2025
What To Know
With the rapid adoption of automation in the real world and the attempts of many tech companies to make robots more human-shaped, the term has moved beyond science fiction.
"Clanker" is normally used to refer to humanoid robots doing jobs that were typically reserved for humans, such as serving food or cleaning.
if I go to a theater and see a fucking clanker trying to serve me popcorn I'm leaving immediately https://t.co/H0MgcQcNSq — xan (@DexterShill) July 20, 2025
The increased use of the term, which is most prominent on X and Instagram, has coincided with the rapid adoption of humanoid robots across the tech industry, spearheaded by AI innovators such as Sam Altman and Elon Musk.
Musk himself has said robots serving people at kiosks will "become normal in a few years." Tesla, a company Musk owns, also has new Optimus robots that are set to become some of the first commercially available full-size humanoid robots.
The company has described Optimus as "a general purpose, bi-pedal, humanoid robot capable of performing tasks that are unsafe, repetitive or boring."

"Clanker" has emerged as a rallying cry by people who are frustrated by rapid automation, particularly as it relates to job losses.
Other social media users have speculated on another way in which humanoid robots may change social norms. On Instagram, Gen Z content creators often joke about being "robophobic" in the future when their children date robots.
What People Are Saying
Elon Musk, at a launch event in October, said of his new Optimus robot: "What can it do? It'll do anything you want."
He added: "It can be a teacher, babysit your kids. It can walk your dog, mow your lawn, get the groceries, just be your friend, serve drinks. Whatever you can think of, it will do."

Which Mag 7 stocks will be the top performers this earnings season?
The latest earnings season will be another test for the "Magnificent 7" tech behemoths, some of which have recovered more recently following a turbulent start to 2025. The emergence of DeepSeek's cheaper artificial intelligence (AI) model in January raised questions over the level of spending on the technology by the major US companies and rattled investors. These questions were front of mind when going into the first earnings season of the year, in addition to increasingly high expectations from investors as to what to expect from the performance of these companies. US president Donald Trump's announcement of unveiling of sweeping tariffs on what he dubbed "Liberation Day" on 2 April also rocked the Mag 7, as well as markets more broadly. Read more: UK's rising debt cost puts Reeves and tax rises in spotlight However, Trump announcing a 90-day pause on many higher tariffs, followed by a further extension for trading partners to negotiate deals until 1 August, offered some relief to investors. Any signs of progress on tariff negotiations has buoyed investor confidence and has seen them pile back into tech stocks. Despite Mag 7 stocks recovering some ground over the past few months, tariff uncertainty continues to loom over markets and this group of tech giants as the second half of the year gets underway. With that in mind, here's more detail on what to expect from the Mag 7 this earnings season. Tesla (TSLA) – Releases second quarter earnings on Wednesday 23 July Shares in electric vehicle (EV) company Tesla (TSLA) are down nearly 19% year-to-date, despite rising as CEO Elon Musk stepped back from Trump's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and said he planned to put more time back into the EV company. Musk's public feud with Trump, following his departure from Washington, has weighed on Tesla (TSLA) shares. Meanwhile, sales of Tesla (TSLA) vehicles have continued to fall, amid backlash against Musk's political activities, with the company also facing increasing competition from rival EV makers. In figures released early in July, Tesla (TSLA) delivered 384,122 vehicles globally in the second quarter, a drop of 13.5% for the same period last year. Tesla's (TSLA) first quarter earnings missed analyst expectations, with the company posting revenue of $19.34bn (£14.3bn), compared to a Bloomberg consensus estimate of $21.37bn. Adjusted earnings of $0.27 per share, also fell short of the $0.43 expected on Wall Street. Chris Beauchamp, chief market analyst at IG said that "expectations are muted" going into Tesla's latest results as "underlying concerns about demand, profitability, and brand damage remain front and centre". "Last quarter was bruising: revenue declined, earnings missed heavily, and management pulled its full-year guidance," he said. "This time, investors want more than just autonomous hype – they want clarity on the health of the core car business." He added: "Margins will be critical. Price cuts have propped up volumes but eroded profitability. Meanwhile, the political fallout surrounding CEO Elon Musk is increasingly material." Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL) – Releases second quarter results on Wednesday 23 July One area of focus going into Google-parent Alphabet's (GOOG, GOOGL) second quarter results on Wednesday will be fears around increasing competition in search from AI chatbots. Reuters recently reported that OpenAI was set to release an AI-powered web browser that would challenge Alphabet's Google Chrome. At the same time, CNBC reported last week that OpenAI has said it will use Google's cloud infrastructure for its ChatGPT AI assistant. Matt Britzman, senior equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said that going into Alphabet's second quarter results there's "still a raging debate about the future of Google search" amid fresh competition from language models like ChatGPT. "Markets are expecting a slight slowdown in services growth, which includes Google advertising and other subscription revenue, to around 8.5%," he said. Stocks: Create your watchlist and portfolio "Cloud growth is the other key driver for Alphabet, with Google Cloud looking much more competitive for AI workloads than it was in previous cloud wars," Britzman said. "Top-line cloud growth of 26% is expected, and investors will have one eye on margins as AI investment into both cloud infrastructure and its Gemini language models continues at pace." He added: "Alphabet has a quality lineup of businesses, but its long-standing crown as the entry point to the internet is under pressure, and that's put the valuation under strain." Alphabet's first quarter results, released in April, beat expectations, with revenue of $90.2bn compared to Bloomberg consensus estimates of $89.1bn. Earnings per share (EPS) of $2.81 also bested forecasts of $2.01. Google Services revenue rose 10% to $77.3bn, which Alphabet said reflected strong performance across Google Search and other Google subscriptions, platforms, and devices, and YouTube ads. Meanwhile, Google cloud revenues were up 28% in the first quarter to $12.3bn. Alphabet shares rose after the release of its first quarter results, though the stock is trading just above the flatline year-to-date. Microsoft (MSFT) – Releases fourth quarter earnings on Wednesday 30 July Reports of a collaboration with Alphabet, signals OpenAI's latest efforts to diversify away from its major backer Microsoft (MSFT), which used to be its exclusive cloud computing capacity provider. In fact, other reports have suggested that talks over the future of Open AI and Microsoft's partnership have turned fractious. Despite tensions over the future of the team-up, which has been a boon for Microsoft in benefitting from being able to sell OpenAI's technologies to its customers, shares are still up 21% year-to-date. Hargreaves Lansdown's Britzman said: "Microsoft is the king of quietly going about its business and nailing execution along the way." Read more: London IPO fundraising slumps in blow to UK He said that cloud performance through Microsoft Azure was stronger than expected last quarter "and there could be some upside to guidance of 34-35% growth in next week's fourth quarter results if it's been able to bring more supply online." "Margins will be in focus as eye-watering AI investment continues, but as supply/demand dynamics become more favourable there should be a natural tailwind," he said. Britzman added that there will also be "keen interest in how efforts to boost efficiency are progressing". "Recent reports suggest Microsoft has already saved over $500m in annual costs by integrating AI into its customer service functions," he said. "Some analysts think there's much more to come and will be keeping an eye out for any further commentary on AI driven cost savings." Microsoft's third quarter earnings, released at the end of April, beat expectations with the company reporting revenue of $70bn versus estimates of $68.4bn, according to Bloomberg consensus estimates. Earnings per share of $3.46 also beat estimates of $3.21. Meta (META) – Releases second quarter results on Wednesday 30 July In its quest to lead the AI race, Facebook-parent Meta (META) has reportedly been snapping up talent from rivals, luring in top performers with eye-watering compensation packages. In addition, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced last week that the company plans to build several massive data centers across the US, including one it expects to come online next year. Shares in Meta are up more than 20% so far this year, with the stock rising following the release of its first quarter earnings at the end of April. Meta posted earnings per share (EPS) of $6.43 on revenue of $42.3bn for the first quarter, besting expectations of EPS of $5.25 on revenue of $41.3bn, according to Bloomberg consensus estimates. For the second quarter, Meta said it expected revenue to come in at between $42.5bn and $45.5bn, ahead of Wall Street's expectations of $44bn. At the same time, AJ Bell's Coatsworth said: "Tariff uncertainties also threaten to dampen advertising activity, which is a risk to Meta's social media networks and to Alphabet's YouTube platform. "If companies are worried about a slowdown in the economy, they might be less willing to spend big on promotions. Both Meta and Alphabet make a lot of money from carrying advertisements so they would be in the firing line if corporates pull back on marketing activities." Apple (AAPL) – Releases third quarter results on Thursday 31 July Shares in Apple (AAPL) are down nearly 15% year-to-date, as tariff headwinds have weighed on the iPhone-maker. Apple CEO Tim Cook warned in a second quarter earnings call at the beginning of May that tariffs were expected to add $900m to costs in the third quarter. Hargreaves Lansdown's Britzman said that this "sounds big, but is relatively small in the grand scheme of things". Apple's second quarter results topped estimates, with revenue of $95.4bn compared to forecasts of $94.5bn, and EPS of $1.65 compared to expectations of $1.62. Britzman said that investors will "hoping for more meat on the AI bone" in this latest set of results. "Apple's relatively disappointing developer conference had a distinct lack of news on the AI strategy and investors are rightly looking for some updates," he said. "Apple's approach to AI has fallen well short of what investors and consumers have come to expect from one of the world's leading brands," he added. "Apple Intelligence has so far failed to deliver the game changing experience that was promised, so investors should watch out any updates on new AI features and where Apple stands with Siri, another product with huge potential but poor execution." Amazon (AMZN) – Releases second quarter results on Thursday 31 July For Amazon (AMZN), a major focus of its results will be on the growth of its Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud business. Britzman said that while AWS recorded 17% growth in the first quarter, this lagged competition. "The aggressive 2025 investment guide is key and mirrors sentiments from other mega-cap players," he said. "Like Microsoft (MSFT) and Alphabet (GOOG), Amazon noted it was leaving some cloud growth on the table as it couldn't ramp up AI computer capacity fast enough – so the supply/demand dynamic will be closely watched." He said that investors will also be keeping an eye on its retail business, given looming tariff uncertainty but added that performance has so far "held up well, with no clear signs of a demand slowdown". "Dominant players are best placed to not only ride out slower growth but also use their scale to gain market share," he added. "Margins are worth keeping an eye on too, there should be a benefit in the coming quarters from the scaling up of facilities and increased use of robotics." Overall in the first quarter, Amazon beat estimates, reporting earnings per share (EPS) of $1.59 on revenue of $155.7bn. Wall Street was anticipating EPS of $1.36 and revenue of $155.1bn, according to Bloomberg consensus estimates. However, the guidance it gave at the time for the second quarter disappointed against expectations. The Seattle-based group said it expected operating income of between $13bn and $17.5bn for the quarter, down from $14.7bn a year earlier and below Wall Street's forecast of $17.7bn. Shares fell after the release of the results and are trading just 3.5% in the green year-to-date. Nvidia (NVDA) – Releases second quarter results on Wednesday 27 August As an enabler of the AI boom, chipmaker Nvidia's (NVDA) earnings have become a major event in the earnings calendar, with some build up to the release of its results as it tends to report later in the season. Investor expectations have become increasingly high around Nvidia's earnings, with markets sensitive to any signs of slowdown for the chip giant. The stock has seen a marked rebound following turbulence in the first few months of the year amid the DeepSeek AI market shock and Trump's tariff agenda. The Trump administration imposed curbs on the sale of Nvidia's H20 AI chips to China in April. Shares popped last week after the company said that it would resume sales of its H20 chips in China. Nvidia said that the US government had assured the company that licences will be granted, with the chipmaker adding that it hoped to start deliveries soon. Stocks: Create your watchlist and portfolio The recovery in Nvidia shares since mid-April lows has meant the stock is now up 25% year-to-date and recently saw the company become the first publicly traded company to pass the $4tn market capitalisation milestone. In the first quarter, Nvidia beat expectations, posting revenue of $44.1bn compared to an expected $43.29bn. The chipmaker guided to revenue of $45bn, plus or minus 2% for the second quarter. Going into the second quarter earnings, Britzman warned that investors shouldn't expect "any meaningful impact" from the recent turnaround on H20 chip curbs, given the timeframe. "However, taking a conservative view, new Chinese sales could drive a $10bn uplift in revenue by year-end, potentially more if things move fast," he said. "NVIDIA may also be able to reverse some of the $4.5bn inventory write-down from the first quarter, providing a direct boost to earnings." He added: "Outside of China, overall demand remains critical. Markets have already heard from major customers that data centre expansion is a priority, which should benefit Nvidia."

The Tesla Diner is officially open 'from now until forever.' What we learned on Day 1
Was it a restaurant opening or a car show? On Monday, Cybertrucks and Teslas filed into the parking lot and lined around the block for the opening of the Tesla Diner: a two-story, retro-modern, steel-covered restaurant with two towering movie screens for customers to watch as they "supercharge" their cars. It marks the popular but controversial car company's first foray into the restaurant industry. Should it prove successful, owner Elon Musk posted to his social media platform X, the L.A. Tesla Diner will be the first of many. Read more: Tesla fans line up to get into the long-awaited Tesla Diner in Hollywood The contentious new Hollywood diner will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The chef and co-operator Eric Greenspan posted a video of the diner set to Guns N' Roses' "Welcome to the Jungle" to his personal Instagram account with the caption, "Tesla Diner now open. 24/7 from now until forever." The roughly 9,300-square-foot Tesla Diner drew at least a thousand customers, according to co-operator Bill Chait, and at least one protester, on its first day. Some traveled for hours and arrived early in the morning to wait in line until the doors opened with little warning, and in memelord Musk fashion, at 4:20 p.m. The opening day scene was a parade of Tesla owners, Musk fans and curious Angelenos who flocked to Santa Monica Boulevard to find parking lots outfitted with 80 superchargers compatible with any electric car, according to Chait. Some of the vehicles outside were covered with custom decals, at least one done up in purple glitter, another with sparkly polka dots and one plastered with the face of the Musk-beloved crypto-meme dog, Doge. Inside, the diner boasts the smell of an In-N-Out in a space that looks as if it were plucked from Disney's Tomorrowland. From behind the pass in the kitchen, Greenspan shouted customer orders: "Epic Bacon," tuna melt, grilled cheese, egg sandwich add avocado — most of which come served in paper boxes shaped like Tesla Cybertrucks. Some customers wore them as hats. The diner is also fully electric, from the fryers to the griddles (no gas stoves). "If our retro-futuristic diner turns out well, which I think it will, @Tesla will establish these in major cities around the world, as well as at Supercharger sites on long distance routes," Musk, a former President Trump senior advisor, wrote on X. "An island of good food, good vibes & entertainment, all while Supercharging!" At the center of the diner are two industry veterans: restaurateur Chait, whose credits include Tartine, Mian, Paloma and Firstborn, among others, and Greenspan, a former Foundry and Patina chef, the creator of New School American Cheese and the culinary lead on MrBeast Burger. Read more: L.A. chef picked to run Tesla diner in Hollywood The company gave Chait and Greenspan 'more or less carte blanche to operate the diner within the Tesla brand,' Chait said. Tesla began planning the diner in 2018. Franz von Holzhausen, a lead automotive designer at Tesla, oversaw much of the restaurant's design and consulted with Chait and Greenspan to bring Musk's vision to life. Chait characterizes Musk — who has been lambasted by critics for his work in the Trump administration as well as a recent alleged Nazi salute, which he denied — as 'a big thinker.' Longtime Tesla fan, investor and cinematographer James Miller, who arrived at the diner at 6:30 a.m. Monday, likened him to Michelangelo or "Steve Jobs on steroids." As smooth as the diner's opening has proved for the operating duo, sometimes the restaurateurs learn news of it just like the rest of the world: from social media outbursts by its polarizing tech billionaire. Read more: Letters to the Editor: I bought my Tesla years before Elon Musk went MAGA. Don't judge me 'We hear it before he posts it, usually, but there is stuff that he posts, you know, in the middle of the night: out come proclamations,' Chait said. Chait said he submitted a proposal for the diner years ago; Tesla chose another operating team, then parted ways, and Chait reentered the picture. When it came to tapping a chef, the restaurateur said he knew who to call. He and Greenspan were already in development of a modern Jewish deli, called Mish, which is planned to open Oct. 3 on La Brea. 'He's an American chef, he knows this food really well, he understands the system,' Chait said. Greenspan envisioned a pseudo-retro diner. 'Charged sodas" on draft are meant to evoke phosphates, and breakfast is served all day long. There are hot dogs, club sandwiches, biscuits with gravy, tallow French fries, cinnamon buns and slices of apple pie served with vanilla ice cream. Tesla's branding — and occasionally Musk's meme-leaning humor — seep into the food. Waffles come stamped with Tesla's lightning bolt, while a white paper carton holds four maple-glazed strips of 'Epic Bacon.' Tesla's engineers devised their own smashburger press, which produces crispy edges and a juicy center for the burger topped with caramelized onions, shredded lettuce, pickles, a punchy 'Electric Sauce' and Greenspan's brand of American cheese. Even the electric vehicles' range influenced the restaurant: Greenspan and Chait wanted to build a menu using purveyors found within a Tesla's mileage from a single charge. Burbank's RC Provisions makes the diner's wagyu chili. Colton's Chino Valley Ranchers provides the eggs, while Buena Park's Brandt Beef supplies the burger patties. Tartine, with a location two blocks away, delivers the bread. The diner does not allow tipping the staff; instead, Chait said, Tesla covers a 20% tip pool, which is distributed to both front- and back-of-house employees. "Being in food service myself, it's always great to see innovation," said Nathan Hoover, a Tesla owner who drove from San Diego at 4 a.m. that morning. "I was impressed. It was worth the wait." Chait said he finds the integration of food and technology 'outrageous." Orders can be placed up to 24 hours in advance, while a new 'geofence' system tracks when a Tesla enters a set perimeter, alerting the kitchen to ready its order 15 to 20 minutes from arrival. Guests can select their preference of dining in or utilizing carhop-inspired delivery. Movies projected onto two large screens in the parking lot can also be viewed within the vehicle. 'Easter eggs' are hidden in the menu; Chait said some may or may not pertain to how long certain buttons are held while ordering. On opening day, rumors ran rampant. Does the diner take crypto as a form of payment? No, Chait said, at least not currently. Will robots deliver the food? No, but one was serving popcorn. The restaurant's 360-degree rooftop — accessible by an all-white winding staircase with museum-like displays of Tesla's humanoid Optimus robots in glass cases — offers ample seating and prime views of the movie screens. At the bar is the Diner Shop, where customers clamored for $40 Tesla Diner T-shirts and $175 levitating Cybertruck models. Adjacent sat a popcorn stand operated by none other than an Optimus itself. Fans giggled as the robot slowly filled paper boxes with popcorn, handed them to customers and gave a wave and peace sign. Read more: Looming over two cases threatening Musk's car company is a single question: Can he be trusted? Not everyone was there to plug in and dine. Outside the entrance on Santa Monica Boulevard, a man strode the block carrying a sign that read 'Workers should have power not the billionaires!' It was, he promised, the first of many Tesla Diner protests to come. 'I'm putting word out to Action Network and a variety of other Tesla takedown organizations, so we will be here in vast numbers from now on,' said Charles Happold, who lives in the neighborhood. 'We will do everything in our power to get him to sell this place and get out of here.' The activist said he regularly protests Tesla dealerships on weekends, and considers Musk to be a threat to democracy alongside President Trump. Happold also pointed to Musk's estrangement from his trans daughter as proof of poor character. Happold paced the sidewalk, occasionally garnering honks of support from passing cars. As guests exited the restaurant, he stopped them to ask why they supported Musk; many responded that they were unaware of the billionaire's involvement. 'They're playing dumb,' he said. Los Angeles, Happold said, is not a city receptive to Musk. But Teslas queued down the block to enter the diner's parking lot. 'I wanted to make sure there was sound presence here today at this secret grand opening that will make people understand that this is not something we will tolerate in Los Angeles,' Happold said. 'We do not want this restaurant here unless he sells it: It's a unique place and that would be fine, but we don't want Musk involved at all.'

All Eyes on Tesla Stock as Earnings Loom; Daniel Ives Sets Expectations
Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock is under the microscope as the EV giant gets set to report second-quarter earnings tomorrow (Wednesday, July 23) after the market closes. Beyond the headline numbers, investors will be watching closely for updates on Tesla's innovation efforts – including its Optimus robot, expanding robotics ambitions, and a potential investment in xAI. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Despite ongoing concerns around weak sales, the loss of EV tax credits, and CEO Elon Musk's polarizing reputation, some analysts see a potential shift in the narrative. Among them is Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives, who believes the set-up going into this report is 'dramatically different' from the more cautious backdrop ahead of Q1. 'While on the April earnings call the big focus was Musk officially leaving the Trump Administration and pressure to refocus on being CEO on Tesla….now investors are seeing more of a 'wartime CEO' as Elon is laser focused on the Robotaxi expansion in Austin with more cities soon on the docket for this key autonomous initiative,' Ives opined. Calling Tesla 'one of the clear future leaders in AI,' Ives pointed to the company's growing momentum in autonomous tech and robotics as key catalysts. The analyst believes the market is starting to grasp the scale of what Tesla is building – not just a car company, but an AI-driven platform with massive long-term potential. In his view, that opportunity alone could add $1 trillion in value to the Tesla story. Of course, innovation alone won't carry the story. Tesla also needs to stabilize its core markets, particularly China, where sales have stumbled amid fierce competition. Encouragingly, June marked the first monthly sales increase in eight months, driven by strong demand for the refreshed Model Y. For Ives, this rebound is a key signal that Tesla's execution in its most important growth region is improving. As for the raw results, the Street is expecting revenues of $22 billion, with automotive revenue reaching $16 billion. Gross margins (excluding credits) are seen landing between 13% and 14%, with EPS around $0.39. Still, the loss of EV tax credits remains a looming challenge. Ives cautions that this 'cash cow' will play a smaller role in Tesla's free cash flow by 2026, though he expects management to address the issue on the call and offer guidance for the second half, particularly as China demand recovers and Model Y momentum builds. 'Importantly we anticipate deliveries globally to rebound in 2H led by some improvement on the key China front with the Model Y refresh a catalyst,' Ives further said. Bottom line, Ives remains the most bullish voice on the Street, assigning TSLA shares with an Outperform (i.e., Buy) rating and a Street-high $500 price target. Investors could be sitting on ~50% gains, should Ives's forecast play out as anticipated. (To watch Ives' track record, click here) Generally speaking, the rest of the analyst community is far less optimistic; Tesla stock only claims a Hold (i.e., Neutral) consensus rating, based on a mix of 13 Buys and Holds, each, plus 8 Sells. The forecast calls for a 12-month drop of ~10%, considering the average price target stands at $299.52.
