Overview
- Days after touting a separate idea of digital 'immortality' via xAI archives, Musk told the World Economic Forum that aging could eventually be slowed or reversed.
- He argued the body likely follows a master biological clock, saying all cells appear to age in sync and offering no new data to support the claim.
- Musk warned that radically extended lifespans could ossify societies, saying there is some benefit to death because constant renewal fosters vibrancy.
- The remarks came during his first appearance on the WEF stage in a conversation with BlackRock CEO Larry Fink.
- He also predicted Tesla may sell Optimus humanoid robots to the public by the end of next year and forecast AI models smarter than any human by late this year or next.
