Is Musk painting a utopia or a warning no one notices? Watch his controversial take on the future

Tech leaders are split on how fast AI will reshape humanity. Elon Musk claims we’re heading toward a future where work becomes optional and money loses all meaning. Speaking at the US–Saudi Investment Forum, Musk said intelligent machines will make labour unnecessary, turning work into a hobby like gardening or gaming. He even believes money itself will eventually become irrelevant. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang agrees AI will transform work but insists humanity will need a warning before such a seismic shift. Meanwhile, Google’s Sundar Pichai cautions against “irrational hype,” comparing the AI boom to the early internet—powerful, but unpredictable.
