Responding to an estimate that 550,000 humanoid robots per year would require 21.5 PB of DRAM — about 0.04% of projected 2026 global DRAM output — Elon Musk called it a "silly analysis," implying it vastly understates future demand. His claim: robots will ultimately consume more RAM than anything else on Earth.
