Musk lays out his 90%-likely AI future: personal robots and universal high income
XFreeze · x · 2026-09-26
Elon Musk described the 90%-likely "good outcome" for AI: everyone gets a personal robot buddy ("even better than C-3PO") to care for elderly parents, watch children, and tutor; companies where one person commands hundreds or thousands of physical and digital robots; robots working 168 hours a week with no retirement. This leads to "effectively universal high income" and an age of abundance where, he says, it's unclear money will even matter. A sweeping prediction with no new data.
