Elon Musk: Money will no longer have value!! What exactly is money? Musk believes that 'money' is essentially a measure of labor distribution. Having money simply means you can get others to do things for you. If one day, AI and robotics can fully meet all human needs, then money will no longer matter. Musk referenced Iain M. Banks' *Culture* series to explain his perspective: 'In the distant future depicted in the series, there is no money, and people can basically get whatever they want.' The monetary system gradually disappears, and Musk proposed an alternative concept: energy. For example, Bitcoin is based on energy. Energy is hard to store and difficult to use efficiently, and you can’t regulate energy through legislation. 'So I think it’s very likely that we won’t have money anymore, and maybe we’ll only be left with energy.'
