Musk։ Optimus will be able to eliminate poverty and provide everyone with a universal high income

American businessman Elon Musk announced on November 16 that the Optimus humanoid robot developed by his company Tesla could radically change the global economy and income distribution system in the future.

"Optimus will be able to eliminate poverty and provide everyone with a universal high income," Musk said in a message posted on his page on the social network X (ex. Twitter).

Musk attached to the publication a fragment of his speech at a meeting with Tesla investors on November 6. In this video, the billionaire claims that in the future, the robot will be able to perform tasks at a level "better than the most qualified surgeon."
