Tesla Inc. CEO and xAI founder Elon Musk has shared his views on the impact of the AI revolution on the Strauss-Howe generational theory.
What Happened: Musk took to X, formerly Twitter, on Sunday to express his thoughts on the Strauss-Howe generational theory and how AI is going to impact society at large.
He believes that AI will significantly impact the cycle of same-aged groups with distinct behavior patterns, which change every 20 years.
However, Musk says "AI will shorten the cycles."
Strauss-Howe Generational Theory: The Strauss-Howe generational theory says that history moves in cycles, and these cycles are shaped by four types of generations: Prophets, Nomads, Heroes, and Artists. Each type has its characteristics and influences how society changes over time.
