Amazon founder Jeff Bezos made a rare public appearance at Italian Tech Week in Turin on Friday, where he boldly predicted that millions of people will live in space within the next few decades, according to the Financial Times. Speaking alongside John Elkann of Italy’s Agnelli family, the Blue Origin founder emphasized that people will choose to live in space “mostly because they want to.” He envisioned robots handling labor-intensive tasks while massive AI data centers operate in orbit.
Bezos’ remarks appear to challenge his space race rival, Elon Musk, who has long championed the colonization of Mars, projecting a million residents by 2050. The competing visions of these billionaires have sparked speculation about the feasibility of their ambitious timelines.
