Elon Musk says everyone will want their 'personal robot' — but warns of 'Terminator'-style risks

Elon Musk predicted at the US-Saudi Investment Forum that humanoid robots could number in the tens of billions, likening them to improved versions of “Star Wars” characters C-3PO and R2-D2.
He envisions robots significantly boosting productivity and enabling a “universal high income” where goods and services become abundant.
Musk acknowledged risks of AI, warning of a potential “Terminator”-style future if development is not responsibly managed.
Tesla aims to produce one million Optimus robots annually and plans to launch robotaxis, with pilot programs expected soon, especially in Saudi Arabia as part of its Vision 2030 economic diversification.
