Elon Musk predicts at least 1 billion humanoid robots within a decade, growing 10x every 3-4 years to 10 billion in 15 years and 100 billion in 20. He envisions personal C-3PO-like robots caring for the elderly, tutoring kids, and one person commanding thousands of robots, leading to "universal high income" — and possibly a future where money no longer matters.
