US EditionElon Musk's Bombshell Medical Prediction: Tesla Billionaire Predicts Robots Will Surpass Best Human Surgeons in 5 Years
- On April 27, 2025, Elon Musk stated on X that within a few years, robotic systems will outperform skilled human surgeons, and within approximately five years, they will exceed the capabilities of the top surgeons.
- This prediction follows advances such as Neuralink's 2024 trial implanting brain chips using robot surgeons requiring speed and precision beyond human ability.
- Supporting this view, Medtronic's Hugo robotic surgery system completed 137 urologic surgeries in 2025 with a 98.5% success rate and low complication rates.
- Musk projected that, assuming everything proceeds successfully, a few hundred individuals could have Neuralink implants in the near future, growing to possibly tens of thousands within five years, and reaching millions over the following decade.
- Despite robotic progress, experts caution that surgery's core relies on human critical thinking, ethical judgement, and compassion, making full replacement uncertain by 2030.
