Elon Musk is once again stirring up a storm with his views on the future, this time following his response to questions about what he intends to do with his vast accumulated fortune. The CEO of Tesla and SpaceX told 'The Economist' that he believes in a future world where artificial intelligence and robotics will create unprecedented abundance, rendering money far less significant than it is today.

According to Musk, "money will not have meaning in 2035," as a world where robots can produce goods and services on a massive scale could fundamentally alter the economic system as we know it.

These remarks sparked numerous reactions, including from Nobel Prize-winning economist Daron Acemoglu, who challenged Musk to prove his conviction by donating his wealth to charity. Acemoglu wrote on the X network that if Musk truly believes money will lose its importance, he should commit to transferring his fortune to social causes by 2036.

Musk responded to the challenge by writing:

"Actually, I am going to do something in that direction."

However, he did not specify what move he intended to make or provide further details regarding the future of his assets.

Musk's statement is of particular interest, as he is widely recognized as the richest person in the world, with his wealth primarily tied to his holdings in companies like Tesla and SpaceX. At the same time, he continues to invest heavily in high-tech fields, including artificial intelligence, electric vehicles, and space exploration. His fortune currently stands at 690 billion dollars.

While it remains unclear whether Musk is planning a significant move regarding his wealth, his words continue to ignite a global discourse surrounding the power of billionaires, the future of the economy, and the role of technology in human life.
