Elon Musk:
“I don't think most people understand just how quickly machine intelligence is advancing.
It's much faster than almost anyone realizes, even within Silicon Valley and certainly outside Silicon Valley. People really have no idea.”
Elon Musk predicts a future where humanoid robots outnumber humans 2:1 or even 3:1:
"I think the humanoid robot opportunity is the single biggest opportunity ever. I think the ratio of humanoid robots to humans is gonna be at least two-to-one, maybe three-to-one, cause everybody will want one and then there'll be a bunch of robots that will be making goods and services."
Elon Musk:
"I think what’s most important in training AI and in growing an AI is to make sure that it is as truthful as possible and maximally curious
Because I think if that's true, then it'll probably foster humanity. But it's very important that AI be trained to be honest even if that truth is unpopular"
Elon Musk on AI, Robotics & Abundance:
“With AI and robotics, this is the path to abundance for all
If you want to solve global poverty or give everyone a very high standard of living, the only way to do that is AI and robotics
That doesn’t mean it’s without risk. We have to be very careful… we don’t want to end up in a Terminator movie
But if AI becomes ubiquitous and essentially free, and robotics is everywhere too, you’ll see an explosion in the global economy on a scale that’s hard to even comprehend”
Elon Musk:
”In the long term, Neuralink is going to restore full-body mobility by transferring motor cortex signals past the injury site. It has already seen success in animal trials”
Tesla's registrations in Japan jumped 182% year-over-year in May 2026
1,996 vehicles. 8,194 year-to-date. Up 157% from 2025.
Just passed Audi. Now fourth among imported brands.
On track for its best year ever in Japan.
Lemonade has expanded its autonomous vehicle insurance product to Tesla owners in Indiana, offering discounts of up to 50% on premiums for miles driven using FSD Supervised.
When insurers start pricing FSD as safer than human driving, that’s the market speaking.
The safety case for FSD just got priced into reality.
Elon Musk on the potential of high launch rates and rocket reusability:
"The potential is there with a high launch rate, if one can achieve full, and rapid reusability to improve the cost of space access by a factor of more than 100."
Elon Musk makes Forbes’ inaugural Iconoclast 50 list for 2026.
Tesla. SpaceX. Starlink. xAI.
Four industries. One person. No comparable figure in the history of business.
Elon Musk on what Nelson Mandela actually stood for and how South Africa has completely lost that
"The vision that Nelson Mandela, a remarkable leader, proposed was for all races to coexist equally in South Africa. Currently, there are around 140 laws that preferentially benefit Black South Africans over others"
Elon Musk explains why Starlink is basically unbreakable
“There are over 10,225 Starlink satellites in low Earth orbit right now, moving at 25 times the speed of sound, Zipping around the Earth at ~550 km altitude
Because they’re so close, latency is extremely low unlike old-school geostationary satellites at 36,000 km.
They’re all interconnected with laser links, forming a giant laser mesh network in space
Even if fiber cables get cut on the ground, Starlink keeps working perfectly
High-speed internet anywhere on Earth no matter what happens below”
$135 per share. $75 billion. $1.75 trillion.
The largest IPO in human history just got a price tag — before the roadshow even starts.
That’s not normal. Companies spend weeks giving ranges, narrowing them, building demand, then pricing the night before debut. SpaceX skipped every step and named its number.
Because when demand isn’t the question — why wait?
Roadshow starts Thursday. $SPCX trades June 12th. Elon locked up 366 days — not selling a single share of the company he’s spent 23 years building. 30% going to retail investors. Every dollar of proceeds heading into AI compute and Starlink expansion.
Now remember what $1.75 trillion is actually buying.
Launch company. Reusability company. Connectivity company. Compute company. Model company. Mars company.
55 launches in 2026. Zero failures. $1.25 billion a month from Anthropic. Google in talks for orbital data centers. $119 billion Terafab in Grimes County. More than 10,200 satellites. Grok #1 across every benchmark that matters.
Cathie Wood says orbital compute could dwarf Starlink. Starlink already has 12 million subscribers and is targeting 25 million by year end.
Goldman led Tesla’s IPO in 2010 at $1.7 billion. Tesla is worth $1.7 trillion today — a 30,000% return.
Goldman is leading this one too.
$135 per share. Before the roadshow. Before the retail allocation. Before June 12th.
The question isn’t whether SpaceX is worth $1.75 trillion.
The question is what it’s worth when everything it’s building actually lands.
Elon explains why the Tesla Semi is so much more energy efficient than any diesel truck:
“I’d certainly encourage people to look at our semi truck presentation
Because one of the things we emphasize with an electric semi truck is that it’s, it’s much more energy efficient than a diesel truck.
You get things like regenerative braking. So like, let’s say you’re going over a mountain range
In diesel truck, you have to actually spend a lot of money on expensive brakes going down the other side so you don’t run out of control, whereas an electric semi truck, is able to recapture the gravitational potential energy, and, when it goes down the other side, it does not overheat the brakes and in fact puts the energy back in the pack.
So, things like that are incredibly helpful for energy efficiency."
Elon Musk on why Tesla exists and the core mission behind electric cars:
”Why does Tesla exist? Why are we making electric cars? Why does it matter?
It's because it's very important to accelerate the transition to sustainable transport. And this is really important for the future of the world."

Elon Musk on "Age of Abundance":
"With AI and robotics, this is the path to abundance for all
We’re talking about an economic explosion that redefines what it means to have a high standard of living
If you want to solve global poverty or give everyone a very high standard of living, the only way to do that is AI and robotics
That doesn’t mean it’s without risk. We have to be very careful... we don’t want to end up in a Terminator movie"
Elon Musk: "We should really accept no racism or sexism in any form, no matter what it’s called,
If 'wokism' means judging people by race, gender, or identity - that's racism
If DEI means giving advantages based on skin color - that's racism rebranded
We need a meritocracy - where people rise based on talent and hard work, not identity politics
And free speech only means something when people you disagree with are allowed to speak”
