“I think we will literally build a legion, at least one legion of robots this year, and then probably 10 legions next year — i.e. roughly 50,000 Optimus humanoid robots in 2026.”

Deadline is end of 2026. Tesla built no 'legion' in 2025, and as of September 2026 series production at Fremont had not started (Tesla's Q2 2026 update said production was 'anticipated later this year'), making 50,000 units in 2026 effectively unreachable.
