In the future envisioned by Elon Musk, the world's richest man, humans will not need to work or have money, and poverty will no longer exist.
At the Mecca Investment Forum on Wednesday, Musk and Nvidia... CEO Jensen Huang co-attended a forum on artificial intelligence A panel discussion on (AI). Musk stated in this discussion that, thanks to artificial intelligence , money will "lose its meaning."
“Resources such as electricity and materials are still limited,” Musk said. “But I think that money will one day lose its meaning.”
Musk cited the works of science fiction author Ian Banks, who wrote the Civilization series of novels between 1987 and 2012. He noted that these books help in understanding " the future of artificial intelligence. " What does it look like?
Musk also discussed the end of work, saying that in the future, work will become an "option," just like "exercising or playing video games. " " Same .
He used gardening as an analogy for the future of work. "Growing vegetables in your own backyard is actually much more troublesome, but some people will still do it because they enjoy growing vegetables," he said. "The future of work will be like this: you can choose according to your own wishes."
Over the past few months, Musk has shared his vision for the future of artificial intelligence on several occasions. This includes eradicating poverty—a point he made at a recent investor conference.
“People often talk about eradicating poverty and ensuring everyone has access to quality healthcare,” Musk said at the shareholder meeting earlier this month. “There’s really only one way to achieve that, and that’s using Optimus Prime robots. ” .
In an interview this October, Musk stated that when artificial intelligence and robotics (such as Tesla)... After Optimus Prime (the robot ) replaces all jobs and renders money meaningless, the government should issue a universal income. He emphasized that this income should not just be a basic universal income, but a high universal income.
After saying that money will lose its meaning in the future, Musk joked with Jensen Huang, who was also on stage. "By the way, Nvidia is having an earnings call today," Musk teased.
Nvidia is scheduled to release its Q3 2026 financial results after the US stock market closes on Wednesday. The financial report is directly related to Nvidia's core financial data such as revenue and profit, and is closely linked to its current "monetary interests".
In response to Musk's clever connection, Jensen Huang also responded wittily and humorously: "Anyway, currency will be useless soon..."
“Cheers,” Musk responded, then he smiled and clinked glasses with Jensen Huang’s Puna water bottles, a playful exchange that lightened the atmosphere.
