Elon Musk expressed agreement with a prediction by David Holz, stating that there could be around 1 billion humanoid robots on Earth by the 2040s, with a potential for 100 billion robots in the solar system by the 2060s.

Musk’s company, Tesla, has developed a prototype humanoid robot called Tesla Optimus, which he believes could be more significant than the vehicle business in the future.

Holz posted that “we should be expecting a billion humanoid robots on earth in the 2040s and a hundred billion (mostly alien) robots throughout the solar system in the 2060s.”

Musk responded, “Probably something like that, provided the foundations of civilization are stable.”

Although the robot is still in the refinement stage, Musk hopes to bring it to market in three to five years, seeing it as a step towards “making the future awesome.”

Musk said, “There’s still a lot of work to be done to refine Optimus.”

“I think Optimus is going to be incredible in five or 10 years,” he continued.
