Overview
- Musk took the stage Thursday in Davos in a session with BlackRock CEO Larry Fink after the World Economic Forum confirmed his late addition to the program.
- He said he aims to begin selling humanoid robots to private customers by 2027 and framed robotics as central to an approaching “age of abundance.”
- Musk predicted artificial intelligence could reach or exceed human-level capability within roughly two years and warned that power supply, not chips, will constrain growth.
- He promoted solar-plus-battery systems as the preferred energy solution, citing a land-area example for powering the United States, with reported figures differing across outlets, and he downplayed nuclear as the primary answer while noting China’s scale in energy buildout.
- His presence surprised observers given his past barbs at Davos, and immediate coverage highlighted questions about the feasibility and timing of his claims as well as unresolved specifics behind some of his numbers.
