Tesla (TSLA) and SpaceX's CEO wasn't making doomsday predictions because North Korea is testing nuclear weapons. What's got Musk much more worried about world war is artificial intelligence.
North Korea "should be low on our list of concerns for civilizational existential risk," Musk said in one of a series of posts on Twitter (TWTR, Tech30) early Monday.
"Competition for AI superiority at national level most likely cause of WW3 imo," Musk said in another tweet, using the Internet short-hand for "in my opinion." Related: 10 cities living in the future
The dire prediction was in response to a recent comment from Russian President Vladimir Putin. "Artificial intelligence is the future not only of Russia but of all of mankind," Putin said. "Whoever becomes the leader in this sphere will become the ruler of the world."

“Whoever becomes the leader in this sphere will become the ruler of the world.”
...
AI will rule its own sphere.
He also predicted a successful automobile company that didn’t need government subsidies to survive.
Elon Musk likes to make dire predictions,
similar to Stephen Hawking.
They both get a lot of headlines from these dire warnings.
Only in America can an immigrant idiot/savant crank get rich on government subsidies.
Has Musk figured out how to profiteer from it?

>> “Has Musk figured out how to profiteer from it?” <<
Obviously! - Like all lefties, he is a total hypocrite.

Funny how stupid smart people can be.
We’re facing WW III with the NORKs right now, and he’s worried about AI.
Either AI is a superpowerful “Skynet” threat, in which case we’re doomed anyway, or it’s never going to be capable of replacing human thought, in which case why worry?
It’s all the Never Trumpers have left. None of the crap they’ve hurled at Pres. Trump has stuck. As a last (at this moment) resort, they apparently would prefer a World War, with untold death and destruction, if it might possibly result in Trump being injured, physically or politically, or not being reelected.

Both idiots!
The future of ‘mankind’ is the bowl judgments, and then the 1000 year demonstration of the total depravity of man.
Just 7 more years until it hits.

I was wondering the same thing. He's real good at siphoning off money from governments so he must have an angle on this somehow.
AI ... right ... even the simple promise of computer language translation from 50 years ago is STILL unfulfilled ...
The only people who drive Tesla’s are rich white Libtards. You can buy a very nice Benz for the same money and get fuel for it anywhere.
Facing WW3 with the NORKs and being invaded by Muslim ‘immigration’ which will result in mass civil wars across Europe.
But... it’s all about AI with these guys.
I suspect you’re right on both counts.
Bi polar moment.
I suspect rich white Libtards buy Tesla’s to impress their white Libtard friends.
Could be. Some are probably convinced they’re doing it for Mother Gaia.
I think Musk is playing the part of a complete Looper... Acting like a certifiable lunatic and a likely candidate for institutionalization.
He’s already alluded to being bipolar and these crazy meanderings may be the ground work he’s laying for his defence against going to a prison for the inevitable fraud charges that will be brought against him when this electric car/ Mars mission fantasy comes crashing down and the investment funds turn up missing. If he’s found mentally incompetent instead of criminally responsible, he will be sent to a mental institution where he can live in luxury and comfort, and that is obviously more desirable than wasting away in a prison cell with a stainless steel toilet.
He’s crazy alright... Crazy like a fox.
