Elon Musk warns AI tsunami could wipe out 50% of white-collar jobs

Elon Musk warns that AI is rapidly transforming digital work, describing its impact as a "supersonic tsunami." While he doesn’t claim all white-collar jobs will vanish overnight, he highlights that roles involving computer-based tasks—writing, coding, research, support—are most at risk. The sharper prediction that AI could eliminate up to 50% of entry-level white-collar jobs comes from Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei. The main concern is that AI may cut off entry-level opportunities, making it harder for young professionals to start careers, leading to significant workforce displacement before new roles emerge.
