Elon Musk on Tuesday used his social platform X to argue that 'conventional money will no longer be relevant,' predicting that mass and energy will eventually replace dollars as humanity builds lunar factories and taps solar power in deep space to fuel artificial intelligence.
After Musk responded to a thread about how much solar energy would be needed to meet long‑term AI ambitions. In a post seen on X, user James Stephenson asked whether the Earth's orbit alone could provide enough power for the sort of large‑scale AI systems Musk frequently talks about. The billionaire, who runs both SpaceX and Tesla, used the exchange to sketch a future in which financial value is tied less to cash and more to the raw resources and power underpinning an off‑world industrial economy.
