Elon Musk may be the most powerful man in the world. He’s worth almost $1trn, runs Tesla and SpaceX, boasts an enormous social-media following and, to top it all off, he reckons he’s pretty good at predicting the future, too.  For his first extended interview since SpaceX’s blockbuster IPO, Mr Musk sits down with Zanny Minton Beddoes, The Economist’s editor-in-chief, at his Texas Gigafactory to talk about what he thinks this future holds. They discuss the timeline for AI overtaking human intelligence, the rapid progress of China, the reasons for his interest in Europe and why he thinks he “got a little too involved” in politics.

  • Elon Musk, thank you so much for joining me on the Insider.

  • Thank you for having us here at Tesla Giga.

  • It is really hard to introduce you without using superlatives.

  • You are doing, I think, more to build the future than literally anybody alive right now.

  • I'm doing a lot of building in general.

  • I'm sort of an instinctive builder, I suppose.

  • I just like building things.

  • You are, but you're building, I mean, you know, run around building things all day long.

  • You run around building a lot of things.

  • You pioneered electric vehicles, you revolutionized space travel,

  • you've got a cutting-edge AI model now, humanoid robots.

  • Can we start this conversation by you putting all of this together?

  • Tell me what the world's going to be like in, let's say, 10 years if you succeed.

  • 10 years, so we're talking 2036.

  • Yep.

  • Hopefully we'll both be around.

  • Hopefully, yes.

  • I think we can...

  • Probably.

  • Most likely we will be.
