Musk's Political Past and AI Future | Canberra News

Elon Musk candidly admits he got carried away in his political alliance with Donald Trump, calling it a volatile ride that saw him back the president with $200 million and oversee massive federal cuts—though he now seems to relish the attention his political stunts brought. Shortly after becoming the world’s first trillionaire via SpaceX’s IPO, Musk pivots to AI, predicting robots will handle most jobs within a decade, making money obsolete—and that human intelligence could be surpassed by AI in just five. He envisions space-based data centers powering his AI and robot ventures, while also making wild, controversial claims: the UK could face civil war in 20 years, far-right Europeans are “normal people” seeking security, and a universal high income may be needed post-AI. Musk even says he’d pay trillions in taxes if it helps, and ends with a cosmic twist: the universe might be an alien-created simulation.
