Elon Musk offered a striking prediction about the future of medicine, saying that pursuing medical school may soon be pointless. He argued that within roughly three years, Tesla’s Optimus robot could outperform any human surgeon, and within four to five years, the gap would be overwhelming. Musk claimed robotic surgeons would deliver care at micron-level precision, never tire, instantly learn from every procedure performed across the fleet, and ultimately make the world’s best medical treatment freely available to everyone—eliminating shortages of skilled surgeons.
