Elon Musk mocks “Peace Summit,” jests about Greenland and Venezuela while at Davos.

 

Predicts AI will surpass humans by next year, robots to outnumber people by 2030

Billionaire Elon Musk delivered a mix of political satire and futuristic predictions at Davos, targeting the concept of the “Peace Summit” and its geographic ambitions.

 

Mocking the summit and territorial deals

Musk joked about the summit, linking “peace” to “pieces” of land, referencing Greenland and Venezuela. His comments highlighted skepticism toward international agreements that involve territorial concessions, echoing past US debates over Greenland acquisition.

 

AI and robots to surpass humanity

Shifting to technology, Musk forecasted AI would be smarter than any human by the end of next year, and by 2030 surpass collective human intelligence. He also predicted robots will outnumber humans, providing elder care and reshaping social structures.

 

Energy and space

Musk warned that electricity shortages could limit AI growth, praising China’s solar capacity of 1,500 gigawatts annually while criticizing US tariffs on solar technology. He suggested space could become the ideal platform to power AI systems efficiently.

 

On extraterrestrials, Musk noted no evidence despite 9,000 satellites in orbit and stressed human consciousness is rare. He confirmed his desire to die on Mars, but humorously noted not “at the moment of collision,” reflecting his long-term goal of human settlement beyond Earth.
