On Sep 1, 2026, Elon Musk joined the G20 Innovation Ministerial in Chapel Hill virtually. He argued for default-legal regulation, offered rough estimates that AI could lift the global economy ~20–30% and that a billion humanoid robots could arrive within a decade, and warned of a near-term AI power shortfall (~15 GW in 2027 ()).
The session ties regulation posture, power capacity, and physical-AI scale into one executive-facing narrative—while requiring clear labeling of Musk’s growth and robotics figures as speaker predictions.
