On October 25, 2026, Musk put forward a judgment: superintelligence will not rule humanity; humanity's real risk is being systematically ignored. According to an October 26 report by Wallstreetcn, Musk said in a conversation hosted by Walter Isaacson that, faced with super artificial intelligence ASI that is thousands of times smarter than humans, humans are like chimpanzees; ASI most likely will not want to rule humanity, but simply will not care about it at all; he also predicted that AI will surpass any single human in 2026–2027 and surpass the collective intelligence of all humanity in 2030–2031. A report by A Yi AI Notes on October 27 mentioned that Musk said on Isaacson's podcast that if AI is good enough and benevolent enough, perhaps in the future it should be the one in control of everything, and said he is simultaneously promoting the establishment of solar manufacturing capacity of 200 gigawatts per year. At present, this judgment is still in the discussion stage, and there has been no further official response.

Musk Relents: A Sufficiently Good AI May Take Control of the Future
In Isaacson's latest podcast, Musk said that if AI is good enough and benevolent enough, perhaps it should be the one in control of everything in the future—a clear departure from his stance back when he insisted on human primacy and was called a "speciesist" by Larry Page. He is also pushing to build 200 gigawatts (GW) of annual solar manufacturing capacity, framing this layout around three pillars: embodied intelligent robots, Starship, and a solar power base.

Musk: Humans Are Chimpanzees Before ASI, and in the Future Money and Jobs Will Both Go to Zero
In a conversation hosted by Walter Isaacson, Musk said that in the face of superintelligent AI (ASI) thousands of times smarter than humans, humans are like chimpanzees, and ASI most likely will not want to rule humanity—it simply won't care. He predicted that AI will surpass any single human in 2026–2027 and surpass the collective intelligence of all humanity in 2030–2031, and that Optimus's surgical capabilities will surpass top doctors within 3–4 years. He also believes that in the future money will lose its meaning, and currency will instead be measured by power and mass.

Musk: Superintelligence won't rule humanity, it will just ignore it
Musk responded in 42 seconds to whether superintelligence will rule humanity: faced with superintelligence thousands or even millions of times smarter than humans, humans don't deserve to be ruled, and it won't have any interest in ruling humanity. He compared humans to chimpanzees: humans won't pass special laws to manage every chimpanzee, they'll just set aside nature reserves. He believes the real risk to humanity isn't being maliciously ruled, but being systematically ignored—like an anthill being flattened when a highway is built.
