Elon Musk’s net worth has increased by some $300 billion this year alone—more than the second-richest person, Larry Page, even has to his name. But money itself may soon be a worry of the past, Musk says, thanks to the rise of artificial intelligence and robotics.
“My prediction is that there will be effectively universal high income,” Musk said in an interview released on Saturday with state-owned China Media Group. “In fact, it’s not clear to me that money will even matter in the future.”
