Tesla CEO Elon Musk made a startling statement regarding the potential loss of jobs due to artificial intelligence (AI). His remarks coincide with the fact that many employees of large tech firms, including Google, Microsoft, and TCS, have already lost their jobs, and many people think that the development of artificial intelligence is a major factor in these layoffs.
Musk says everyone will lose their jobs.
Musk responded to a message on his social media network, X (previously Twitter), with his bold forecast. Musk said that AI and robotics will eventually replace all employment in response to a user who said that Amazon intended to lay off 60,000 employees and replace them with these technologies.
He proposed that “growing vegetables instead of buying them” would be an option for individuals in such a future.
told y’all Amazon would replace their employees with robots — and certain folks on the pod laughed & said I was being “hysterical”

I wasn’t hysterical, I was right
Amazon is gonna replace 600,00 folks according to NYTimes — and that’s a low ball estimate IMO

Concerns are widespread despite individual investment.
Musk is not the first well-known person to voice such serious concerns about the potential risks of artificial intelligence, even though his statement was a reaction to an X user’s post against Amazon. The “Godfather of AI,” Geoffrey Hinton, had already issued a warning about the possible dangers of the technology.
Musk has voiced his concerns on social media, although his own businesses have significant investments in the same technology he cautions against. His artificial intelligence firm, xAI, is constructing Tesla’s self-governing Optimus robot. Elon Musk frequently posts videos and updates about his robot on his X account, demonstrating his dual roles as a social safety advocate and a pioneer in AI technology.
In the meantime, India has seen a significant rise in AI-related employment openings. The worldwide recruiting portal Indeed reported that job posts for AI positions increased to 11.7% in September, a notable increase from 8.2% in the same month the previous year.
