Amazon founder Jeff Bezos isn’t thinking small. He’s thinking a trillion people big.
On the “Lex Fridman Podcast” in 2023, Bezos laid out a vision that sounds more like science fiction than a business plan — but in his mind, it’s grounded in physics and scale.
“I would love to see a trillion humans living in the solar system. If we had a trillion humans, we would have, at any given time, 1,000 Mozarts and 1,000 Einsteins,” Bezos said. “That our solar system would be full of life and intelligence and energy. And we can easily support a civilization that large with all of the resources in the solar system.”

He didn’t stop there.
“The only way to get to that vision is with giant space stations,” Bezos said. “The planetary surfaces are just way too small.”
