Elon Musk raises the question of what will happen to money when artificial intelligence does almost everything
In an interview with Walter Isaacson on the program The Builders, published on October 20, 2026, Elon Musk said that the development of artificial intelligence and robotics could lead to an economy in which conventional money loses importance. He said currency would still exist but would be measured with physical magnitudes such as power in watts, tonnage, mass and energy. He also stated that there will be no task that AI and robots cannot do better than humans.
