Elon Musk on how Optimus will provide access to the best medical care for anyone in the world: “Imagine a world where everyone has access to the best surgeons, literally everyone. And Optimus will have the level of precision that is frankly superhuman and will be able to do medical procedures, very sophisticated medical procedures, any medical procedure, perhaps things that humans can't even do because they're too difficult, and that will be available to anyone. People often talk about eliminating poverty and providing great medical care, but they never actually have a solution. Money doesn't solve it, because there are only so many, there's a very limited number of great doctors and surgeons, they don't grow on trees. But now they all get built in factories.”

Elon Musk: Money can’t end poverty. But robots will. “Our new goal is sustainable abundance. That's abundance for all, but in a way that is sustainable, that does not destroy any of the natural world that’s around us. The robots will be able to make anyone a house. As long as you don't just insist on it being in a particular location, robots will be able to build you a castle if you want. The reason for hand dexterity [for Optimus] is you want to be able to do like surgery and precision medical actions.

ELON: OPTIMUS WILL ELIMINATE POVERTY AND TRANSFORM MEDICAL CARE “You know, people often talk about eliminating poverty or giving everyone amazing medical care. There’s actually only one way to do that, and that’s with the Optimus robot. With humanoid robots, you can actually give everyone amazing medical care. Optimus will be more precise, ultimately better than the best human surgeon, with a level of precision beyond human ability. People always talked about eliminating poverty, but Optimus will actually do it. Optimus will give people incredible medical care.” Source: uncover.robotics

Elon Musk envisions a future where everyone gets access to the world's best surgeons—because Tesla's Optimus robots will deliver superhuman precision for any medical procedure, even ones too complex for humans. "Imagine a world where everyone has access to the best surgeons, literally everyone... Optimus will have the level of precision that is frankly superhuman... and that will be available to anyone." Money can't scale top doctors—they're rare. But robots? Built in factories at scale. From scarcity to abundance: Could humanoid robots truly end healthcare inequality? Would you trust an Optimus robot for surgery if it outperformed humans? Or is the human touch irreplaceable? What's your take on this bold vision? Drop thoughts below.

Elon Musk: There are all kinds of NGOs trying to eliminate poverty. But AI and robotics will actually succeed. “People often talk about sort of eliminating poverty and that kind of thing. How long have they been talking about that? There's lots of talk; there are lots of NGOs sort of trying to do these things but really not succeeding. And the evidence speaks for itself. But AI and humanoid robots will actually eliminate poverty. And Tesla won't be the only one that makes them. I think Tesla will pioneer this, but there will be many other companies that make humanoid robots. But there is only basically one way to make everyone wealthy, and that is AI and robotics.” U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum, November 19, 2025

Elon Musk predicts that within the next three years, Tesla’s Optimus will become a better surgeon than even the most skilled human surgeons The world is currently facing a growing shortage of surgeons. Human doctors are limited by time, fatigue, and availability When Optimus reaches that level of precision and scalability, it will bring high-quality surgical care to millions who currently have little or no access This is how we move toward abundance in healthcare

Men and women of Tesla, read this and really listen. Listen to exactly what Jason, one of Elon’s closest friends, said about what he saw and felt when he experienced Optimus Gen 3. If this doesn’t get you bullish about the future of Tesla, I don’t know what will. This is the biggest insight we’ve had so far into what Tesla is about to become. No one will remember Tesla as a car company when billions of Optimus are in the hands of customers around the world. Everyone will want at least one. FYI, there are 8.3B people living on Earth today. “Two Sundays ago I went to Tesla with Elon. I saw Optimus 3. I can tell you now, nobody will remember that Tesla ever made a car. They will only remember Optimus and that he is going to make a billion of those. It’s going to be the most transformative technology product ever made in the history of humanity, because what LLMs are going to enable those products to do is understand the world and then do things in the world that we don’t want to do. I believe it will be a one-to-one ratio of humans to Optimus, and I think he’s already won.” - Jason Calacanis

Elon Musk: In less than 10 years, work won’t be something you have to do… it’ll be something you choose to do. He says the future of AI and robotics is heading toward a world where working becomes optional — just like growing your own vegetables. You can do it, but you don’t have to. Some people will still work because they enjoy it, not because they need to survive. That flips everything we know about jobs, money, and purpose. Imagine waking up and deciding to work purely because you want to, not because you’re forced to. That’s the kind of shift he’s talking about. And it doesn’t stop there — Musk believes Tesla’s Optimus robots could eventually perform highly skilled tasks like surgery, delivering medical care that’s better than what the best humans can provide today. A future where everyone, anywhere in the world, gets access to elite-level healthcare. Optional work. Superhuman doctors. AI running the backbone of society.

🇺🇸 ELON ON AI: “IF YOU CAN THINK OF IT, YOU CAN HAVE IT - THAT WILL BE THE FUTURE” "I'm Confident that AI and robotics will continue to advance -and they are advancing very rapidly- working will become optional. People will be able to have any goods or services they want. If you can think of it, you can have it. But at a certain point, AI will actually saturate everything humans can think of. And then it becomes a situation where AI is doing things for AI and robotics are doing things for AI and robotics, because they are running out of things to do to make humans happy. Because there is a limit, there are only so many people and only so much food. If you can think of it, you can have it. That will be the future." Source: Elon Musk, Nikhil Kamath

ELON: AI AND ROBOTICS WILL ELIMINATE POVERTY AND TRANSFORM THE ECONOMY “There will be no shortage of products and services for anyone. Basically, anyone will be able to have any products they want. The productivity gains from AI and robotics are astounding to think about. I think it could increase the economy by a factor of 10 or more. It’ll eliminate poverty, and you really will be in a situation where anyone can have anything they want. The bigger challenge may be finding meaning in life.
