Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, predicts that work will become optional within the next 10-20 years, as artificial intelligence and robotics revolutionize the workplace. According to Musk, people will only work if they choose to, similar to someone gardening as a hobby. He believes robots will surpass humans in capabilities, even in fields like surgery, providing superior medical care.
