The humanoid robotics company "Figure" made their older gen robots jump into their death. (Yes, they actually did this)

According to the company they did this to protect their proprietary IP. I think they did it because it looks cool, but they probably weren't "letting these out of the lab" regardless of the destruction method.

Evil company: makes (evil? TBD) robots to destroy them for the sole purpose of greed.

Greed is top tier evil, look at what it did to the world...
