Elon Musk on MACROHARD — the xAI project to build a fully AI-run software empire (think Microsoft, but 100% agents, no humans in the loop for coding, ops, or anything digital).
It's the "digital Optimus" phase: massive-scale AI emulation of human computer work before physical robots take over manufacturing and real-world tasks.
"I'd be surprised if by end of this year, the digital human emulation has not been solved. That's what we mean by like, the sort of MACROHARD project is, can you do anything that a human with access to a computer could do? That's the best you can do before you have a physical Optimus, the best you can do is a digital Optimus."
Wild timeline — if digital human-level software mastery hits by end of 2026, the implications for productivity, Tesla's autonomy stack, and xAI's edge are insane. 🚀🤖
