Elon Musk Says 'Earth Has Been a Snowball Many Times' — But AI Satellites Can Make 'Tiny Adjustments' to How Much Solar Energy Reaches Us
Published on March 25, 2026.
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has proposed that AI-powered satellites can adjust how much sunlight reaches Earth via 'tiny adjustments' to how much solar energy reaches Earth. This concept, which falls under solar geoengineering, is a field that reduces a fraction of sunlight to cool the planet and could lower temperatures without changing carbon dioxide levels. Musk's concept involves satellites powered by solar energy and guided by AI, making continuous adjustments. However, there is a risk of this technology becoming too sensitive and potentially causing instability in agriculture, weather patterns, and ecosystems.
