Robot Revolution: Musk’s $200 Trillion Vision for Humanoid Helpers
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has made a bold prediction about the future market for humanoid robots, specifically referencing the company’s Optimus project.
In a recent statement, Musk outlined a vision that, if realized, could revolutionize not just the robotics industry, but the global economy as a whole.
Musk asserted that the potential market for humanoid robots could exceed 10 billion units, surpassing the current human population.
“The Optimus numbers, they’re so mind-blowing that you’re like, is this real?” Musk remarked, highlighting the ambitious scale of his projection.
The tech mogul’s forecast is based on the assumption that demand would come from two primary sources. First, he anticipates that “people each want one,” suggesting widespread adoption for personal use. Second, he expects significant demand from various industries, further boosting the potential market size.
Musk went on to provide a hypothetical scenario to illustrate the economic implications of his prediction. “So, if they do sell at even a volume for $20,000, that’s $200 Trillion,” he calculated.
