On October 26, 2026, in his latest interview, Musk offered a judgment: in the near future, money will become completely irrelevant. His reasoning is that if space resources, embodied intelligence, and a lunar electromagnetic catapult are successfully realized, the scale of the civilization's economy will surge to 1 million times its current size, and the modern monetary system based on scarcity will be physically rendered entirely obsolete, with currency instead defined by three physical quantities: power, mass, and energy. In the same interview, he also spent 42 seconds responding to the threat of superintelligence, arguing that humanity does not deserve to be governed and that the real risk is being systematically ignored, like an anthill beneath a highway. At present, this judgment appears only in interview reports, with no subsequent developments.

Musk: Robots and Space Infrastructure Will Render the Monetary System Obsolete
In a recent interview, Musk laid out a 51-second deduction: once embodied intelligence and space infrastructure magnify the economy a millionfold, the modern monetary system built on scarcity will be rendered physically and completely obsolete. He believes the only wealth that cannot be diluted in the future is the three physical quantities of power, mass, and energy, and that robots and a lunar electromagnetic catapult will bring about a millionfold economic explosion.

Musk: In the Age of Superintelligence, Money Will Be Irrelevant
In a recent interview, Musk said that in the near future money will become completely irrelevant: if space resources, embodied intelligence, and a lunar electromagnetic catapult get up and running, the scale of civilization's economy will surge to 1 million times its current size, and currency will instead be defined by three physical quantities: power, mass, and energy. He also used 42 seconds to respond to the threat of superintelligence, arguing that humans do not deserve to be ruled, and that the real risk is being systematically ignored, like an anthill beneath a highway.
