Elon Musk on Artificial Intelligence - The Economist (July 2026) - Oni - 09-07-2026
The Economist did an interview with Elon Musk last month. The first ~30 minutes of the interview are about the implications of AI and his predictions.
Timestamps:
00:00 - AI will be smarter than humans in five years
12:10 - How AI companies could regulate themselves
15:20 - Will China be the leader in AI?
25:43 - Elon Musk on Sam Altman and the AI bosses
31:20 - “Work is going to be optional”
41:07 - Should one man have so much power?
49:44 - Starlink and the war in Ukraine
55:18 - “I got too involved in politics”
57:14 - Musk: zero people died because of USAID cuts
01:01:15 - Europe, the far right and civil war in Britain
01:08:21 - Musk: I’m not a racist
01:20:27 - What do people get most wrong about Musk?

The work being optional part is crazy lol. If AI really gets to that level in 5 years, that would change everything. AI has been replacing jobs but not all jobs, and at the same time people are anti-ai and are fighting to bring back human operated jobs.

One of the most fascinating aspects I find, is the low-level trade/chip war going on between the U.S. and China.
Elon described, but the U.S. has a significant amount of control over the export of chips to China. While China has a huge amount of electricity, they do not have access to the same chips and are being tariffed when they import them. In a way, it's no longer a race to develop a nuclear bomb or visit the moon... it's a race to control the chip market with the emergence of AI. Taiwan is home to TSMC and you can pretty much assume what that means.

It would be nice to see chips being made in the US on par with what we import from China

According to Grimes he does get pegged so don't threaten him with a good time!

I'd be curious to know your opinion of him, Oni

I don't have a very firm opinion of him, since it doesn't matter much to me. He's intelligent and he's done a lot for science. At the same time, I totally understand why he upsets people and some of his conduct is understandably concerning. That said, I do believe his predictions for AI have some valid basis.

I believe this is just immaturity.
