In an exclusive interview, Tesla CEO Elon Musk expressed his confidence in China’s prowess in robotics and AI, highlighting its potential to emerge as a global frontrunner in the future. He specifically cited his admiration for the Kimi K3 model developed by Yuezhi'anmian, asserting that China enjoys a distinct edge in the AI race, thanks in part to its robust power supply infrastructure. Furthermore, Musk observed that China is advancing more rapidly than anticipated in addressing challenges related to cutting-edge photolithography technology.

Musk advocated for a collaborative approach among global AI labs, urging them to conduct mutual safety reviews before deploying new models and to report these findings to both the Chinese and U.S. governments. He also voiced opposition to the U.S. government’s restrictions on American companies utilizing Chinese AI models.

Looking ahead, Musk predicted that AI’s collective intelligence could outstrip that of humanity within the next five years, potentially heralding an era of widespread prosperity. Over the following decade, he envisions a workplace increasingly integrated with robots, propelling society into a phase of “great abundance” where human labor becomes “optional.” This shift, he argued, will necessitate large-scale wealth redistribution and could make deflation a more pressing economic concern.

Additionally, Musk reflected on his past involvement in U.S. political affairs and touched upon topics related to SpaceX.
