Tesla (TSLA) and SpaceX (SPCX) CEO Elon Musk’s prediction that money could one day become largely meaningless just came with a trillion-dollar test.
“A proposed pledge for Elon Musk.” MIT economist and 2024 Nobel Prize winner Daron Acemoglu wrote on X on July 27, 2026. "An opportunity to put your money where your mouth is. If money won’t matter in 2036, why don’t you pledge to donate your current wealth of approximately $1 trillion to charity no later than 2036. This would establish with great credibility your belief in the powers of AI and technology. It would also assuage many people around the world who are worried about the political and social influence of billionaires and trillionaires."
