Elon Musk is set to participate in a global conference later this week, where he will deliver a speech focusing on various topics related to his tunneling company, artificial intelligence (AI), the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in the U.S., and other related subjects.
Scheduled for Thursday, Musk’s appearance at the World Government Summit in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), will mark his third time speaking at the event. Alongside the UAE’s Minister for AI, Omar Sultan AlOlama, Musk will address attendees in a 30-minute segment titled “Boring Cities, AI, and DOGE” at 9:00 a.m. Gulf Standard Time.
Given the current global circumstances, Musk is expected to deliver his speech virtually, following the format of his previous live-streamed presentations at the conference in 2017 and 2023. In his past appearances, Musk discussed a range of topics including products from his companies such as the Neuralink brain implant, city design, electric vehicles (EVs), and the importance of avoiding excessive centralization in world governments.
During his speech at the 2023 World Government Summit, Musk emphasized the need to steer clear of creating a single world government that could pose a civilizational risk. He highlighted the importance of maintaining a balance between cooperation among governments and preserving individual sovereignty.
The three-day conference, commencing on Tuesday, will feature appearances from government officials, influential business leaders, and other prominent figures from around the globe. The full schedule of events can be accessed on the summit’s website for those interested in following the discussions and presentations.
In recent months, Musk has been actively engaged in public appearances, including a virtual speech at a campaign event for the Alternative for Germany party. He also participated in the U.S. presidential inauguration ceremony for President Donald Trump, reflecting his involvement in political and government-related activities.
Under the Trump administration, Musk has been collaborating with the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to streamline government spending and address areas of inefficiency and fraud within federal programs. Recent initiatives by Musk and the DOGE team have led to budget cuts in various government departments, including the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
As Musk prepares to address the global audience at the World Government Summit, his insights and perspectives on topics such as AI, urban development, and government efficiency are expected to spark meaningful discussions and reflections among attendees. Stay tuned for updates on Musk’s speech and the key takeaways from this significant global event.
