musk sustainable abundance

Actually I envisioned something like this when I first learned to program computers around 1966 when I was in college studying Computer operations, computer programming and computer science.

However, the only way I could see it work then or now would be if individuals owned their robots like they own houses and cars now. So, that these robots would go to work in place of them.

Otherwise big companies would just make most people starve like now if it didn't happen this way.

 begin quotes:

 

Elon Musk's vision for Sustainable Abundance centered on creating a post-scarcity world through AI, robotics (Optimus), and clean energy, aiming for universal access to goods and services by automating labor and manufacturing. However, in late 2025, Musk shifted Tesla's mission from "Sustainable Abundance" to "Amazing Abundance," prioritizing a joyful, prosperous future over explicitly environmental goals, though the core tech focus on AI and automation for mass production remains. 
Key Elements of the Vision:
  • Automation & Robotics:
    Using Optimus humanoid robots to perform labor, drastically cutting production costs and increasing output. 
  • AI Integration:
    Developing Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) to power these robots and optimize systems. 

  • Energy & Manufacturing:
    Combining massive-scale, efficient manufacturing with clean energy (solar, storage) to produce goods cheaply. 

  • Goal:
    A future where physical goods and services are abundant and affordable for everyone, effectively eliminating scarcity. 

    The Shift to "Amazing Abundance":
    • In December 2025, Musk announced the change on X, calling it more "joyful" and reflecting a focus on the outcome (abundance) rather than solely the method (sustainability). 

  • This shift de-emphasizes the climate crisis as the primary driver, moving towards a broader economic prosperity goal, though clean energy remains a foundational element. 

    In essence, Sustainable Abundance was the path (eco-friendly automation), while Amazing Abundance is the destination (universal prosperity), achieved through the same technological tools.
