  • Elon Musk predicted that Tesla's AI-powered humanoid robots would one day outnumber humans.
  • "I don't think there's anyone even close to Tesla on solving real-world AI," Musk said.
  • Musk first revealed Tesla's "Optimus" robots in 2021, though the prototype was revealed to be a person in a bodysuit. 

On Wednesday, Elon Musk predicted that the ratio of AI-powered humanoid robots to human beings "might be greater than one to one."

"You could sort of see a home use for robots, certainly industrial uses for robots, humanoid robots," he said. 

Musk's musings about AI came during Tesla's first-ever Investor Day presentation, which was held at the carmaker's Austin, Texas, Gigafactory.
