Musk talks about DOGE, Grok 3, and OpenAI, from cutting bureaucracy to Dubai Loop's new project

Elon Musk attended the World Government Summit Talk in Dubai on 2/13, where he was interviewed on government efficiency reform, AI development, and transportation infrastructure. He emphasized the need for governments to reduce bureaucracy, promote technological upgrades, and predicted that AI and humanoid robots will completely change the global economic model in the future. Additionally, he announced a collaboration with the Dubai government to launch the "Dubai Loop" for creating an efficient underground transportation system.

Advocating reducing government agencies and improving efficiency, allowing the government to return to the governance of the people

Musk believes that the U.S. government's bureaucracy is too large, leading to inefficiency and even hindering economic growth. "There are currently about 450 federal agencies in the United States, which is more than the number of years the country has been found, is this really necessary?"

He believes that the current situation of the US government has become a 'bureaucratic' rule rather than 'people' rule, and the government should streamline its institutions, eliminate unnecessary regulations, and make economic development more smooth. 'In history, the most common way to remove excessive regulations is war, but we don't need to wait for war to happen to address these issues. We can take the initiative to make some changes now.'

In addition, Musk mentioned that the US government system is outdated, leading to many processes severely lagging behind. For example, the retirement process for government employees still relies on handwritten documents and is stored in an underground mine in Pennsylvania. Even the speed of the mine's elevator affects the efficiency of the retirement processing. 'These things should all be digitized and optimized with technology, which is the key to improving government efficiency.'

Grok 3 is coming, will become the strongest AI model

Elon Musk revealed that his AI product Grok 3 will be released soon, claiming it to be the current 'strongest' AI model. 'Grok 3's reasoning ability is extremely strong, even smart enough to be somewhat scary, able to propose unexpected solutions.' He added that Grok 3's base model is already stronger than Grok 2, outperforming other AI models even without additional adjustments.

Musk emphasized that the key to AI lies in authenticity and curiosity, avoiding being instilled with values that do not align with facts. 'If AI is set to forcefully promote political correctness rather than being fact-based, the results could be very frightening.' He gave an example, assuming that AI is designed to believe that 'misusing gender pronouns' is worse than a global nuclear war, this would be a major issue.

In addition, he once again lashed out at OpenAI, accusing OpenAI of violating its original open-source and non-profit commitments, transforming into a closed and highly profitable AI company.

The beef between Musk and OpenAI CEO Altman continues.

The future economy may be dominated by AI and humanoid robots

Elon Musk believes that the future global economic model will be completely disrupted by AI and humanoid robots. "When we have advanced AI and advanced robots, basically all products and services can be supplied in unlimited quantities. By then, money may no longer have meaning."

He said that Tesla (Tesla) is developing the most advanced humanoid robots that will be able to perform various tasks, managed with cloud AI, making human society more efficient than ever before. He even speculated that the future world might be like that depicted in science fiction, namely 'highly automated,' where everyone can enjoy a high-quality life.

Dubai Loop, a new project in Dubai, is constructing the future of underground transportation.

At the end of the interview, Musk and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) officials jointly announced the launch of the Dubai Loop project in Dubai. This is an underground tunnel transportation system that can significantly reduce urban traffic congestion.

"Currently, the skyscrapers in the city are 3D structures, but the roads are 2D, which is the root cause of traffic congestion. We need to make transportation 3D," Musk explained. Although flying cars are a solution, they have issues such as high noise, strong winds, and high risks of accidents, so an underground tunnel transportation system is the best choice.

He gave an example that the underground tunnel project in Las Vegas (Las Vegas), USA, has been successfully operated. In the future, Dubai Loop will also connect airports, hotels, and major locations, providing an efficient and quiet transportation method. 'In the future, you can instantly travel from one end of the city to the other like passing through a wormhole, which will be a very cool experience.'
