US EditionMusk Says Optimus Robots Will Build Themselves in Self-Replicating Factories
Elon Musk forecasts AI and Tesla’s Optimus robots will reduce work necessity and money relevance within 10-20 years, enabling poverty eradication through automation, he said.
- On November 19, 2025, Elon Musk, Tesla CEO, told the U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum that AI and Optimus humanoid robots could make traditional work optional.
- Musk seeks to use Optimus to shift Tesla toward robotics, aiming to deploy the robots in manufacturing this year and broaden availability in 2026 to help eradicate poverty.
- He gave a timeframe, saying `I don't know what long term is, maybe it's 10, 20 years or something like that`, and Elon Musk, Tesla CEO, added `At some point, currency becomes irrelevant` while framing Optimus robot as the only way forward.
- Tesla shareholders approved a $1 trillion pay package earlier this month, with Musk needing to meet targets tied to an $8.5 trillion market value, amid $1 trillion Saudi investments.
- Analysts note that electricity limits and Elon Musk's past predictions suggest caution, while Yale Budget Lab finds little labor disruption from AI since 2022.
