The Singularity, the theory that machine intelligence will one day surpass our own, is one of Musk's favourite topics. He warned that the singularity, the point in time where artificial intelligence overtakes the human race, is “coming soon”.
Musk even launched a $US1 billion startup, OpenAI, to ensure AI doesn't ultimately pose an existential threat to humanity.
Musk is debating whether the singularity has already been achieved in other simulations.
It's a premise that fits very nicely with Adult Swim's Rick and Morty, which explains why Musk likes it so much. The entire premise of the show is that there are an infinite amount of universes with an infinite amount of timelines.
Musk said that while the show disgusts him from time-to-time, he's a fan, and it's 30 minutes he enjoys sharing with his five sons. Very sweet. Rick and Morty responded by promising to disgust the entire Musk family with the third season clincher. Also very sweet.
And Rick and Morty delivered on its promise! Musk said the season three finale was "disgustingly good". That compliment quickly escalated to Musk's musings about the Singularity, as can only happen when you're in a Twitter thread with a billionaire trying to colonise Mars.
