At the World Government Summit (WGS) 2025, Elon Musk made another attention-grabbing statement, calling for the US government to do away with all agencies and take a more laissez-faire approach. In Musk’s view, over-bureaucracy is suffocating innovation, and the nation needs to “mind its own business” to enable technological advancement to thrive.
The tech mogul also made daring predictions regarding AI and robotics, stating that Grok 3, his newest version of AI chatbot, will beat all others. With its superior reasoning and context sensitivity, Musk is confident it will revolutionize human-computer interaction. While that’s happening, Tesla’s human-like robots are likely to be so effective that they may render conventional jobs redundant, making money useless in the long term.
Musk’s remarks have triggered fierce debate among policymakers, economists, and technology leaders. While some view his vision as a wake-up call, others contend that unbridled AI and automation may result in colossal societal upheaval.
With Musk leading the charge on AI, space, and automation, his forecasts continue to drive debates on the future of governance, technology, and human work.
