Elon, I think you may be right about the long-term direction.
If AI and robotics produce enough goods and services, money may eventually lose its central role.
At some point, the real currency may become energy, compute, matter, infrastructure, and access.
But the difficult part is the transition.
Technological abundance does not automatically create fairness.
Automation does not automatically create meaning.
Universal high income does not automatically preserve human agency.
If work becomes optional, society will need more than payments.
It will need purpose, dignity, access, and visibility into who controls the infrastructure that replaces traditional money.
The key question may not be:
will money matter less?
The key question is:
who owns, governs, and observes the AI infrastructure that makes money matter less?
Because if energy, compute, robotics, data, and automated production become the new foundation of civilization, then human freedom will depend on how visible and accountable that infrastructure remains.
Abundance is powerful.
But abundance without trajectory governance can still create dependency.
The future should not only make humans richer.
It should keep humans free.
