Not slow down. Stop.#ElonMuskTalks
Musk: âThereâll probably be more Optimus robots that are great surgeons than there are all surgeons on Earth.â
The entire global surgical workforce. Redundant. Before a current med student finishes residency.
âDonât go to medical school?â
Musk: âYes. Pointless.â #OptimusRobot
Twelve years. Half a million dollars. One word.
Optimus does not shake. Does not fatigue. Does not flinch at hour eleven of a twelve-hour operation.
It improves every night while the surgeon sleeps.
By year four, Musk says heâd stake everything on it. By year five, it is not close.
Then came the line that rewrites who medicine has ever belonged to. #ElonMusk.
Musk: âEveryone will have access to medical care that is better than what the president receives right now.â
Medicine has always been rationed by wealth. The best surgeons on Earth have always belonged to the powerful.
That ends. Completely. Within five years.
The machine does not calibrate its precision to your net worth. It does not save its best work for the wealthy. Full capacity, every time, for everyone. #ElonMusk
One day, choosing a human surgeon over a robot will feel like refusing the anesthesia.
Human hands are no longer medicineâs highest standard.
The ones who doubted this will understand it the day they need surgery, not a surgeon #optimustesla
