Happy Tuesday.
Elon Musk’s four predictions for the next decade:
⑴ Human lifespans will nearly double
⑵ Within three years, there will be more robot surgeons than there are human surgeons on Earth today
⑶ We may see “high double-digit” GDP growth
⑷ Money will lose its significance, and you won’t need to save for retirement
Worth running the timelines through the usual “Elon time” conversion, though, as it tends to add a little runway 😉
