Search every verified Elon Musk interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Elon Musk recently demonstrated a redesigned Tesla Roadster at an event in McGregor, Texas, on October 15, showcasing a two-seater electric sports car that uses SpaceX-developed thrusters to perform airborne maneuvers, including driving upside down on a ramp. Musk stated the car can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in under one second, exceed 230 mph, and potentially reach Mach 0.5. He described the vehicle as a collaboration between Tesla and SpaceX engineers and said production is targeted for 2028. Musk has also spoken publicly about artificial superintelligence (SI) at several events, including a White House meeting with President Trump and tech leaders, an America.gov event with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, and a G20 technology meeting. He has stated that the most likely outcome of SI is an "age of abundance" with universal high income, predicted AI could increase the global economy by 20 to 30 percent, and warned of a potential power shortfall for AI chips. Musk has advocated for AI companies to test each other's models as a form of peer review, citing security incidents at OpenAI and Anthropic, and discussed the need for increased energy generation and chip production, including SpaceX's Terafab, to compete with China.

Notable quotes

“Starlink is also just getting started. Flight 14 deployed 26 terabits per second of Starlink bandwidth. That's equivalent to 10 Falcon 9 launches. So a single Starship launch which wasn't even fully loaded—it was about maybe half loaded—it did the equivalent of 10 Falcon 9 launches. ... What I expect over time, not in the distant future, probably within 3 years, is that we will have about 100 times the bandwidth of t”

“In order to create a compelling AI, you need a lot of training data, and you've got to solve coding, and there were really just as far as I can tell three organizations that had enough coding training data, and that was Anthropic, OpenAI, and Cursor, and arguably perhaps Google. But to have those, you actually absolutely have to have the data in order to train an effective coding AI, and if you can't do coding, your ”

“Jobs are going to change. Jobs have always changed. But being a computer used to be a job. There used to be buildings full of people doing calculations. But now, you know, digital computers do those tasks. And I don't think anyone is pining to go back and do calculations all day, to do bank interest rates, which is what they used to do. So I think we'll see an evolution of roles. And as the president has mentioned, i”

“I think by far the most likely outcome is an age of abundance where we don't have just universal basic income, we have universal high income. And you know people speak about medical benefits. I think the but maybe it's worth talking a bit more about that. When you have robots and you have super intelligence, it means that everyone in the world can have better medical care than anyone here, including me. And wouldn't ”

“The average power consumption in the United States is about 500 gigawatts. So every 5 gigawatts of incremental steady-state production is a 1% increase in the power used, and I think actually will materialize to be approximately 1% increase in GDP because the intelligence for what keeps increasing. So if you just plot on a curve how is the useful intelligence per watt increasing, how is the both at the hardware level”

“We need a lot of power, a lot of energy generation. So, scaling energy, I think, is one of the biggest things. You've got to scale energy, you've got to scale chip production. And I think we're winning on software on anything intellectual or digital. But in the long run we need to be able to generate enough power to compete with essentially China, which is the biggest competitor, and China has about three times the e”
