ngfanvinh ELON MUSK DECLARES: “AI WILL MAKE WORK AND MONEY USELESS” — IS THE WORLD ENTERING A NEW ERA?

When Elon Musk appeared in his latest interview, no one expected he would drop a sentence so shocking it froze the internet: “AI will make work unnecessary. And when that happens, money won’t matter anymore.”
The statement spread across social media in hours — sparking confusion, fear, and intense curiosity. Many wondered: is this just another wild prediction, or a real warning for humanity’s future?

Musk has long been known for bold visions — sending humans to Mars, inserting chips into brains, building cars that drive themselves. But this time, his words touched a deeper fear: will humans become “useless” on the very planet they shaped?

AI is accelerating — and Musk wants the world to wake up

During the interview, Musk said AI is growing faster than any technology humanity has created. Machines no longer just “learn” — they self-correct, self-improve, and sometimes even self-direct. Some AI models today already surpass human intelligence in areas like calculation, data analysis, coding, and medical diagnostics.

If this continues, Musk believes we will enter a future where humans won’t need to work to survive.
It sounds like paradise — but for Musk, it’s a future that’s both “heaven” and “hell.”

If we don’t need work, what happens to money?

Musk described a world where machines handle everything: food production, energy, transportation, even complex services. In that world, economies would operate in a completely new way. No scarcity. No hunger.
But also… no real use for money.

What replaces money? Musk suggests humanity might need some form of universal basic income — or even a new “value system” no one today can imagine.

The internet exploded with debate:

• “If AI does everything, what will humans do all day?”
• “How does a society function without money?”
• “If everyone has the same income, who will innovate?”

Some feel scared. Others excited. And many think Musk is exaggerating for attention.

But why say this now?

Experts believe Musk isn’t speaking randomly. He’s deeply involved in the global AI race among giants like OpenAI, Google, Meta, and his own company, xAI.

His warning may be:

• a call for the world to prepare for disruption,
• a reminder that AI can be dangerous,
• or a strategic move to strengthen his voice in the AI debate.

Whatever the reason, the impact is clear: the world must rethink its future.

Will humans truly become “useless”?

Many scientists disagree with Musk. They argue that AI cannot replace emotion, creativity, ethics, or empathy — the things that define human identity. AI may change jobs, they say, but not erase them.

Still, Musk’s unsettling question hangs in the air:
If AI does everything faster, cheaper, and better — what is left for humans to claim as their role?

Is Musk preparing for something bigger?

Some people believe Musk is preparing the world for a major move with xAI. By saying “work will be useless,” he may be hinting at the power of the AI systems he is building.

Others believe Musk is seeing a future the world doesn’t want to face: AI may disrupt society massively within 10–20 years.

And as usual, Musk repeated his core message:
“AI must be developed safely. If not, it could be the biggest risk humanity has ever faced.”

A future to fear — or a future to hope for?

Musk’s prediction triggers both fear and excitement.
A world without work sounds perfect — but it could also be a nightmare if humans lose purpose.

Will we become passive beings who simply exist?
Or will we use our newfound free time to create, explore, and redefine what life means?

No one knows. But Musk achieved one thing:
he made the world stop, think, and question the future.
