When Elon Musk rises sprinkling on stage together with President Trump and Prince Saudi, the world stops for a moment. But this is not a scene of a science fiction film: it is reality, where robots dance the Ymca, Starlink connects the skies and robo-taxes already wait for the green light.
Saudi Arabia It has been synonymous with oil for decades, but if you ask Elon Musk, this will soon be only another chapter of a history textbook. Elon Musk, entrepreneur and ex (or current?) Rich in the world, recently visited the kingdom in the company of the former president of the United States Donald Trump and the hereditary prince Mohammed Bin Salman. What did he have with him? The robotic revolution. Literally.
Tesla has shown several Optimus humanoid robots on stage capable of walking, speaking and, as Musk says, even performing the “Trump dance” at the rhythm of the legendary Ymca. But for Musk the robots are not just entertainment: they are the foundations of a new world. His vision provides for dozens of billions of humanoids that will provide a “universal high income” while the productivity of the company will explode.
And that’s not all. The “cars of the future” also arrived on stage, completely autonomous robo-taxi. Musk says that the current vehicle is only a “four -wheeled robot” and that Saudi Arabia will soon be among the first to test this futuristic means of transport. This should transform cars into money generators: they guide you and make you earn money at the same time.
In addition, the kingdom has officially approved the use of Starlink for maritime and plane transport, which means that the skies and desert seas will now be under constant digital surveillance. As if that were not enough, Musk also mentioned the possibility of building boring company tunnels through the Saudi cities, which would solve road traffic jams, giving a feeling of “teleportation”, to use his words.
What designs Elon Musk for Saudi Arabia?
1. Tesla Optimus: humanoid robot to increase productivity
Elon Musk presented the Tesla Optimus robots and showed them live to an audience that included the Saudi hereditary prince and Donald Trump. These robots are able to walk, interact and even dance. Musk believes that humanoid robots will play an important role in the economy of the future and that each individual will play their own personal assistant. Purpose: automate manual work and increase productivity in the country.
2. Tesla Robotaxi – autonomous mobility and vehicle monetization
Musk has announced the launch of the Tesla Robotaxi autonomous vehicle system in Saudi Arabia. These vehicles are expected to work completely autonomously and will be part of the vision of intelligent cities developed by the kingdom. The key idea: cars are no longer an expense, but a source of income: the owners can use them to transport other people without driver.
3. Starlink – Satellite internet for maritime navigation and aviation
Saudi Arabia officially approved the use of the Starlink system for maritime and plane transport. This means that planes and ships in the kingdom (and in the largest region) will have access to a fast and reliable internet network, independent of terrestrial networks. Musk expressed gratitude to the monarchy for rapid approval.

4. The Boring Company – A solution for urban transport with tunnels
Musk proposed the introduction of underground transport tunnel similar to those already made by the Boring Company in Las Vegas. This is an innovative solution to the congestion of traffic that allows you to quickly connect different parts of the city through electric vehicles in the subsoil, the so -called “urban teleportation”.
5. XAI – Artificial intelligence for the search for truth
Musk also presented his new company, Xai, who aims to create an artificial intelligence focused on the discovery of truth and understanding the universe. He sees a potential for partnerships in the field of education and research in cooperation with Saudi Arabia, while the Kingdom focuses on the development of science and technology.
Conclusion: a future without restrictions – and Europe?!
Saudi Arabia is no longer just an oil superpower: with Elon Musk as a strategic technological partner, it is being transformed into a world technological pole. In the next few years we will witness the experimentation of humanoid robots, the introduction of autonomous taxis, the implementation of satellite internet in critical infrastructures and the construction of advanced transport solutions in Riyadh and in other Saudi cities.
Musk will bring his key projects – Tesla, Starlink, The Boring Company and Xai – in a country that has been investing a lot in the transition to the economy of the future for several years. And if everything goes according to the plans, Saudi Arabia will be the place where the future will begin.
