On the Lex Fridman podcast with Elon musk (episode 200), around 2h22m Elon says that Optimus will be able to pick up a needle and a thread and thread the needle just by looking and he says it's "maybe a year" away.
This will resolve YES if Optimus (or a later version of the Optimus robot) is able to consistently thread a needle just by looking at the thread and the needle.
It will resolve NO if there is no proof of this being possible by that date.

Optimus update, no increase in finger dexterity besides picking up an egg and better fingerboard force feedback
@TheBayesian agreed, hence the market. Although I'm surprised that there's not a whole range of "outlandish predictions by Musk" given how frequently he makes them. I'd make a million of them if I had the Mana
