Elon Musk’s vision of the future

Elon Musk predicts that within five years, AI systems may surpass the sum of all human intelligence.

Within ten years, robots in the workplace could create such abundance that money becomes meaningless, Musk said in an interview with The Economist.

Musk forecasts that Britain will be engulfed in civil war within 20 years.

Musk’s company SpaceX went public with a $2.6 trillion value, later dropping to $1.6 trillion.

The interview took place at a Tesla factory in Texas where electric cars drive themselves off the assembly line.
