Elon Musk says billions of optimus robots in the future · Elon Musk Podcast

  I guess the way to think about it is that every human on Earth
• 0:04
  is going to want to have their own personal R2D2C3PO, so who
• 0:10
  wouldn't? But actually, Optimus will be
• 0:13
  even better than them. You know?
• 0:14
  Like, you know, R2D2, it's kind of beep at you and it's kind of
• 0:18
  hard to figure out what he's talking about.
• 0:21
  You know, you can see 3PO to translate, but Optimus is going
• 0:25
  to be like everyone's going to want one.
• 0:29
  I think within terms of industry, providing products and
• 0:33
  services, I think it's probably, I don't know, three to five
• 0:37
  robots in industry for every, you know, one that's a personal
• 0:41
  robot. I, I think there could be 10s of
• 0:43
  billions of, of optimist robots out there.
• 0:49
  Now. Obviously it's very important we
• 0:50
  pay close attention to safety here because we do, we do want
• 0:55
  the the the Star Wars movie, not the Jim Cameron movie.
• 1:03
  I like Jim Cameron's movies, but you know, you know what I mean.
• 1:13
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:14
  So, so we're going to launch on the the fastest production ramp
• 1:22
  of of any product of any large complex manufactured product
• 1:26
  ever and starting with building 1,000,000 unit production line
• 1:33
  in in Fremont. And that's, that's, that's line
• 1:38
  1. And then a 10 million unit per
• 1:43
  year production line here. I don't know where we're going
• 1:46
  to put the 100 million unit production line, maybe on Mars,
• 1:51
  I don't know. But but I think it's it's going
• 1:56
  to literally get to 100 million a year, maybe even a billion a
• 1:59
  year. And you know, people often talk
• 2:05
  about like eliminating poverty, giving everyone amazing medical
• 2:10
  care. Well, there's actually only one
• 2:13
  way to do that, and that's with the optimist robot.
• 2:17
  With, with humanoid robots, you can actually give everyone
• 2:20
  amazing medical care. Optimists will be more precise.
• 2:24
  Optimists will ultimately be better than the best human
• 2:26
  surgeon with a level of precision that that isn't
• 2:29
  possible, that that is beyond human.
• 2:31
  I think that's, that's a pretty wild concept to say.
• 2:34
  OK, if you, you know, there's people always talked about
• 2:38
  eliminating poverty, but actually optimists will actually
• 2:42
  eliminate poverty. Optimists will actually give
• 2:45
  people incredible medical care. I mean, and so you start getting
• 2:48
  like sort of some pretty wild sci-fi sort of scenarios and
• 2:52
  some of these things I say will always be taken out of context
• 2:55
  and using snippets and, you know, sent around.
• 2:57
  But whatever. I was only going to say, you
• 2:59
  know, like, I think we might may be able to give people a more if
• 3:03
  somebody's committed crime, a more humane form of containment
• 3:07
  of future crime, which is if, if you, if you say, like you now
• 3:12
  get a, you now get a free optimist and it's just going to
• 3:15
  follow you around and stop you from doing crime.
• 3:20
  But other than that, you get to do anything just it's just going
• 3:23
  to stop you from committing crime.
• 3:24
  That's, that's really it. You know, I mean, you don't have
• 3:28
  to put people in like prisons and stuff.
• 3:29
  I think it's pretty wild to think of the, the various of all
• 3:32
  the possibilities, But I think it's, it's, it's clearly, it's
• 3:35
  clearly the future. You know, my book recommendation
• 3:38
  for the maybe the best mostly utopian sci-fi future are the in
• 3:44
  banks books, the culture books. So if you're curious, like what
• 3:48
  what do I think the future is probably like?
• 3:49
  I think it's probably a bit like that or, you know, as mops to
• 3:55
  some degree. But but but I think it's and
• 3:58
  Heinlein, but in banks. If you're like saying what what
• 4:03
  what is the Elon thing? The future probably will be like
• 4:06
  for AI and robots. It's kind of banks in now and,
• 4:10
  and, and things do get kind of wild from an economic standpoint
• 4:16
  because at a certain point with AI and robotics, you can
• 4:21
  actually increase the global economy by a factor of 10 or
• 4:25
  maybe 100. There's there's not like an
• 4:29
  obvious limit. So like optimist is kind of like
• 4:36
  an infinite money glitch, you know, and maybe they won't even
• 4:44
  be money in the future or money, but if it might be measured in
• 4:49
  terms of wattage, like how much, you know, power can you bring to
• 4:54
  bear from an electrical standpoint.
• 4:59
  So I guess what I'm saying is hang on to your Tesla stock.
