"Your estimates are about right. However, intelligent robots in humanoid form will far exceed the population of humans, as every person will want their own personal R2-D2 and C-3PO. And then there will be many robots in industry for every human to provide products & services.- Elon Musk (@elonmusk) August 24, 2025"
"There will be universal high income (not merely basic income). Everyone will have the best medical care, food, home, transport and everything else.Sustainable abundance.- Elon Musk (@elonmusk) August 24, 2025"
Optimism underpins ventures like Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink and xAI and drives ambitious technological goals. Intelligent humanoid robots could eventually outnumber humans as personal companions and industrial workers, producing vast quantities of goods and services. Tesla's Optimus humanoid robot targets initial mass production in 2025 with a company goal of about 50,000 units next year. High robot penetration could enable abundant, inexpensive production, allowing a Universal High Income that provides best medical care, food, housing, transport and other essentials for everyone. Sustainable abundance could result from widespread automation combined with policies distributing abundant resources.
