Tesla is obviously about sustainable technology, and also, at this point, we've sort of added to our mission sustainable abundance.

So, with robotics and AI,

This is really the path to abundance for all.

If you say, you know, people often talk about solving global poverty or essentially how do we make, give everyone a very high standard of living.

I think the only way to do this is AI and robotics.

Which doesn't mean that it is without its issues.

We need to be very careful with AI.

We need to be very careful with robotics.

We don't want to find ourselves in a James Cameron movie.

You know, Terminator.

He's got great movies, I love his movies, but we don't want to be in Terminator, obviously.

But if you have ubiquitous AI that is essentially free or close to it, and ubiquitous robotics, then you will have an explosion in the global economy, an expansion in the global economy that is truly beyond all precedent.

Can that expansion be broad?

Yes.

Or is it narrow?

And how can that be created?

How can it broaden the global economy?

Yeah, it's... I mean, the way to think of it is that if you have a large number of humanoid robots, the economic output is...

the average productivity per robot times the number of robots.

And actually my prediction is, in the benign scenario of the future, that we will actually make so many robots in AI that they will actually saturate all human needs.
