Tech billionaire Elon Musk took a sharp—and humorous—jab at US President Donald Trump’s newly announced “Board of Peace” during a panel discussion at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos.
💬 “I heard about the formation of the Peace Summit and I thought—was that ‘peace’ or ‘piece’? A little piece of Greenland, a little piece of Venezuela,” Musk quipped, drawing light laughter from the audience.
He followed it up with a dry punchline: “All we want is peace.”
🕊️ What Is Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’?
The Board of Peace, chaired by Trump, was initially conceived as a small group of global leaders tasked with overseeing a Gaza ceasefire and reconstruction plan. However, the scope has since widened significantly.
🔹 The Trump administration has sent invitations to dozens of countries
🔹 The board may evolve into a broader conflict-mediation platform
🔹 It could play a role in future geopolitical negotiations
🤝 Musk and Trump: A Relationship Reset?
Musk’s remarks come at a time when his relationship with Trump appears to be back on steadier ground, following a turbulent year marked by a public fallout and later reconciliation.
Once vocal allies, the two had clashed openly before mending ties—making Musk’s joke both pointed and politically loaded.
🤖 Robots, Abundance, and the Future
Beyond geopolitics, Musk also returned to familiar territory—artificial intelligence and robotics.
🔧 He predicted a future where:
Robots outnumber humans
Robots manufacture other rbots
Goods and services become abundant
🧠 “Everyone on Earth will want a robot—to take care of parents or children,” Musk said.
🚗 He added that Tesla plans to sell robots to the public by the end of next year.
⚠️ Controversy in the Background
Musk’s Davos appearance comes amid controversy surrounding Grok, an AI developed by his startup xAI, which has faced criticism over sexually explicit image generation.
Adding to the irony, Musk has long been a vocal critic of the WEF, calling it:
❌ Elitist
❌ Unaccountable
❌ Disconnected from ordinary people
On his platform X, he has mocked Davos as “boring” and labelled the forum an “unelected world government.”
🔍 Bigger Picture
Musk’s remarks underline growing skepticism around elite-led global initiatives, even as such platforms continue to shape international dialogue. Whether Trump’s Board of Peace becomes a genuine peace-building force—or remains a headline-grabbing experiment—remains to be seen.
