Elon Musk says there may be a point where it gets so smart it starts wondering why it's stuck being a car at all.\nOn the \"Dwarkesh Podcast\" earlier this month, a discussion about artificial intelligence and Tesla's robotics work took an unexpected turn. Musk said the company's increasingly responsive software is making its vehicles feel less like machines and more like something alive, before warning that adding too much intelligence could come with its own problems.\nHost Dwarkesh Patel pressed Musk about Tesla's Optimus robot hardware and what still needed to improve before large-scale manufacturing. \n\"No, we're moving towards that,\" Musk told him. \"We're moving forward with the mass manufacturing.\"\nDon't Miss:\nPatel followed up by asking whether current hardware was already good enough to scale deployment. That's when Musk shifted the conversation toward Tesla vehicles themselves.\n\"Okay. The car, it just increasingly feels sentient. It feels like a living creature. That'll only get more so. I'm actually thinking we probably shouldn't put too much intelligence into the car, because it might get bored and…\"\nStripe co-founder and guest co-host John Collison chimed in with the punchline. \"Start roaming the streets,\" he said on the podcast. \nMusk continued the thought, turning the joke into a broader point about intelligence and limitations.\n\"Imagine you're stuck in a car and that's all you could do,\" he said. \"You don't want to put Einstein in a car. It's like, why am I stuck in a car? So there's actually probably a limit to how much intelligence you put in a car to not have the intelligence be bored.\"\nTrending: Before the IPO: How One Company Quietly Locked Up 500+ Iconic Character Rights\nThe exchange captured a familiar Musk theme. As AI improves, machines begin to feel less like tools and more like systems reacting in real time. For now, the idea of a bored car remains hypothetical, but the conversation highlighted how quickly discussions about AI can move from engineering to philosophy once intelligence enters the equation.\nBut Musk didn't stop at restless rides—the nearly three-hour podcast spiraled into epic territory, tying car smarts to bigger AI headaches. While hyping Optimus humanoid robots for mass rollout, he pivoted to orbital data centers as the ultimate power play. \n\"In 36 months, the cheapest place to put AI will be space,\" Musk said, slamming Earth's flatlining electricity growth and permit nightmares. Forget Nevada solar farms; he's eyeing Starship launches every hour to beam down terawatts of compute, dodging tariffs and turbine backlogs. \nSee Also: Wall Street's $12B Real Estate Manager Is Opening Its Doors to Individual Investors — Without the Crowdfunding Middlemen\nAnd on xAI's Grok? It's all about alignment without the doomsday drama—pro-human vibes, moral constitutions, and scaling hardware faster than rivals. Yet, he cautioned governments could misuse this tech for oppression, urging limits on state power.\nSo, maybe cars won't actually get bored and start roaming the streets — but the bigger takeaway is this: when technology starts blurring the line between machine and \"alive,\" entire industries shift. And when industries shift, early capital pays attention. \nWhether it's AI or robotics, the real opportunity is spotting momentum before it's obvious. No promises, no guarantees — just the kind of ground-floor energy that makes the next wave exciting to watch.\nRead Next: Motley Fool's analysts have built a new lineup of passive ETFs — explore which \"Foolish\" strategy fits your investment goals.\nImage: Shutterstock\nTo add Benzinga News as your preferred source on Google, click here.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.36.2","shortVersion":"4.36.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2612293812","isCrawlerRequest":true}
