Elon Musk Says Superintelligence Will Add $25T to Global Economy
By Google News Category Global Economy ·
Elon Musk said digital superintelligence would raise global economic output by 20% to 30%, "roughly call it a $25 trillion increase," and that the gain would arrive "very fast."
The estimate covers software intelligence alone, "without taking robotics into account," and he said digital AI "probably doubles the productivity of white collar work."
Musk put SpaceX above a $100 billion annual revenue rate in December and its recurring revenue above $500 billion a year later, calling $1 trillion "not out of the question" at roughly 2% odds.
Digital superintelligence will add 20% to 30% to global economic output, or "roughly call it a $25 trillion increase," Tesla and SpaceX chief executive Elon Musk said.
Musk's range covers digital intelligence "without taking robotics into account," and he said it "probably doubles the productivity of white-collar work." He treated physical AI as a separate question, telling Baron Capital chief executive Ron Baron it was a field "we're going to be dominant in."
Musk's SpaceX guidance shows the scale he is underwriting.
The company is tracking to an annual revenue rate above $100 billion in December, he said, and its recurring revenue in December 2027 would "exceed 500 billion."
"This is not a promise," he clarified. "This is just what I think will happen." A $1 trillion figure is "not out of the question," he added, but put the likelihood at "maybe 2% or something."
