Entrepreneur details his vision on the advancement of artificial intelligence, the expansion of robotics, investments in space computing, and the impact of these technologies on the economy and society over the next decade.<\/p>\n

Artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics could trigger one of the greatest transformations in human history. This is the assessment presented by Elon Musk<\/a> during an interview with the British magazine The Economist. According to the entrepreneur, the accelerated evolution of these technologies could usher in a new phase of global prosperity by 2036, driven by automation and increased productive capacity.<\/p>\n

Moreover, Musk stated that, in the next five years, artificial intelligence systems could surpass humans in virtually all intellectual and operational activities. Thus, according to his projection, work would cease to be an obligation and become a choice.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the expansion of AI would continue to be driven by billion-dollar investments in infrastructure, research, and development.<\/p>\n

Elon Musk believes that artificial intelligence will surpass human capabilities in a few years<\/p>\n

According to statements given to The Economist, Elon Musk considers that the evolution of artificial intelligence is occurring at an exponential rate.<\/p>\n

According to the entrepreneur:<\/p>\n

\u201cArtificial Intelligence can surpass all human intelligence in five years. That\u2019s my bet. There will be nothing that AI cannot do better than humans, except for being human, perhaps.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thus, Musk believes that intelligent systems could perform virtually all cognitive and operational tasks with superior performance to humans.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, he expressed hope that technologies developed by xAI will start performing complex activities, such as software programming.<\/p>\n

At the same time, Tesla\u2019s humanoid robots are expected to take on manual functions in different sectors of the economy, expanding the process of industrial and service automation.<\/p>\n

Trillionaire fortune and xAI acquisition reinforce Elon Musk\u2019s technological strategy<\/p>\n

The timeline of events reinforces the moment experienced by the entrepreneur.<\/p>\n

In February 2026, SpaceX completed the acquisition of xAI for $250 billion, strengthening investments in artificial intelligence and expanding its technological development capacity.<\/p>\n

Subsequently, in June 2026, Elon Musk became, according to the base text, the first man in history to reach trillionaire status.<\/p>\n

Additionally, his fortune was estimated at more than $1.1 trillion, mainly driven by the appreciation of SpaceX.<\/p>\n

Consequently, these events consolidated a new chapter in Musk\u2019s entrepreneurial journey and reinforced his bet on high-impact technologies.<\/p>\n

Scenario of abundance would depend on global stability, says Elon Musk<\/p>\n

According to Musk, the combination of artificial intelligence and robotics could provide an unprecedented scenario of abundance.<\/p>\n

However, the entrepreneur noted that this perspective would depend on the absence of catastrophic events capable of interrupting technological development.<\/p>\n

Among the examples cited was a nuclear war.<\/a><\/p>\n

If such a situation does not occur, Musk believes that highly autonomous machines will produce goods and services on a large scale.<\/p>\n

As a result, the population\u2019s access to these resources could be significantly expanded.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the founder of Tesla and SpaceX acknowledged that the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence sparks excitement but also raises concerns about the impacts of this transformation.<\/p>\n

Even so, he stated that he maintains an optimistic view of the future.<\/p>\n

Data centers in space are part of plans to expand artificial intelligence processing<\/p>\n

In addition to the advancement of artificial intelligence, Musk revealed plans to expand the computational infrastructure necessary for the operation of these systems.<\/p>\n

According to him, data processing centers could be installed in Earth\u2019s orbit, taking advantage of the solar energy available in space.<\/p>\n

To make this structure viable, the entrepreneur reported that, in January 2026, a request was submitted to the United States telecommunications authorities for authorization to launch approximately 1 million satellites.<\/p>\n

The proposal is part of the project known as Orbital Data Center, which aims to create a space infrastructure focused on processing large volumes of information.<\/p>\n

In this way, the computational capacity dedicated to the development of artificial intelligence can be significantly expanded.<\/p>\n

Timeline of Major Events<\/p>\n

By 2036: the entrepreneur projects an era of technological abundance, driven by the integration of AI, robotics, Tesla, xAI, SpaceX, and space computational infrastructure.<\/p>\n

January 2026: Elon Musk requests authorization from the United States telecommunications authorities to launch about 1 million satellites for the Orbital Data Center project.<\/p>\n

February 2026: SpaceX completes the acquisition of xAI for US$ 250 billion.<\/p>\n

June 2026: Elon Musk achieves, according to the main text, the status of first trillionaire in history, with an estimated wealth of more than US$ 1.1 trillion.<\/p>\n

By approximately 2031: Musk estimates that artificial intelligence could surpass humans in practically all intellectual and operational activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Entrepreneur details his vision on the advancement of artificial intelligence, the expansion of robotics, investments in space computing,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":118047,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[140,732,658,2899],"class_list":["post-118046","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-xai","tag-elon-musk","tag-inteligencia-artificial","tag-spacex","tag-xai"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118046","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=118046"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118046\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/118047"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118046"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=118046"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=118046"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
