Elon Musk has said to expect roughly 1 billion humanoid robots in 2040s, per FOX.


Renowned entrepreneur Elon Musk recently took to the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to lend his support to a bold prediction made by David Holz, the visionary founder of the artificial intelligence (AI) research lab Midjourney. Holz anticipates that Earth could witness the presence of approximately 1 billion humanoid robots by the 2040s, with an astonishing figure of around 100 billion robots, predominantly extraterrestrial, dispersed throughout the solar system by the 2060s.

In response to Holz's futuristic forecast, Musk concurred, stating, "Probably something like that, provided the foundations of civilization are stable." Musk, known for his role in groundbreaking companies like Tesla, SpaceX, and Neuralink, has a history of pushing technological boundaries. In this context, his acknowledgment of such a monumental prediction is particularly noteworthy.

Tesla, under Musk's leadership, has been actively developing a prototype humanoid robot referred to as Tesla Optimus or Tesla Bot. The initial unveiling took place at the AI Day event in August 2021, where Musk outlined the company's intention to create a prototype by the following year. Describing the potential impact of the robot, Musk expressed belief in its significance, suggesting it could outshine even the impact of the vehicle business over time.

At a subsequent event in October 2022, Musk shared his ambition to produce millions of Optimus robots, each estimated to be priced at around $20,000. However, during the demonstration, he refrained from assigning complex tasks to the robot, emphasizing the need for further refinement. Despite the existing limitations, Musk remains optimistic about the robot's future, indicating ongoing efforts to enhance its capabilities over the next five to ten years.

As of 2022, Musk aims to bring the Optimus robot to the market within three to five years, envisioning it as an exceptionally capable machine once ready. His alignment with Holz's projection adds an intriguing dimension to the poten
