On November 20, Business Insider reported that during the U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum held on Monday local time, Tesla CEO Elon Musk engaged in a conversation with NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang. During this discussion, Musk posited that as generative AI continues to advance, the traditional concept of money will gradually become "obsolete." While resources like electricity will still present objective constraints, the significance of currency will diminish markedly.

Musk envisions a future where work is no longer a prerequisite for survival but rather an optional activity that people can "engage in casually," akin to sports or games. He illustrated this point by using gardening as an example, suggesting that future work will resemble tending to a vegetable garden in one's backyard—driven purely by personal interest. Furthermore, Musk highlighted that the key to achieving widespread poverty alleviation and high-quality healthcare lies in the widespread adoption and application of Optimus robots.
