Elon Musk Makes Bold Claim About the Future of AI ...Saudi Arabia

Elon Musk made a prediction about artificial intelligence and its potential impact on the workforce, which could be either exciting or worrisome. The world's richest man believes that money will soon become "irrelevant" and that work will become "optional" due to the impact of AI on jobs.

Musk made his prediction at the U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, Nov. 19. While speaking to Abdullah Alswaha, Saudi Arabia’s minister of communications and information technology, and Nvidia founder Jensen Huang, Musk suggested, "In about 10 or 20 years, my prediction is that work will be optional."

He continued, in a video shared by Forbes, "It’ll be like playing sports or a video game or something like that."

Musk went on to compare it to gardening, telling his audience, "It’s much harder to grow vegetables in your backyard, but some people still do it because they like growing vegetables. That will be what work is like, optional."

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO went on to say that "assuming there’s a continued improvement in AI and robotics," he believes "there will still be physical constraints, such as energy and matter, but currency will become irrelevant."

Reactions to Musk's prediction have been mixed, with one person taking to X, which is also owned by Musk, to say, "This isn’t a desirable goal. Humans need to work. They cannot thrive without self-determined purpose."

Another asked, "So why does he care about increasing the birth rate then?"

A third questioned how that would work, writing, "So the people in the companies that own the robots doing all the work are just going to give all the in products that way to people for free? You need to think more about it looking like ready player one then this Utopia."

One unbeliever used a Dr. Evil GIF from the Austin Powers movies to question these claims, writing, "The guy that just took a TRILLION DOLLAR SALARY says money will be irrelevant …"

Another wrote, "I am once again reminding everyone that every attempt at a man-made Utopia has always ended in Dystopia Also, Asimov was wrong; and even if he wasn't, his best-case scenario was essentially a globalist dystopia of economic zones covering Earth."

Musk's latest claims about our future workforce come after his response to Peter H. Diamandis, MD, who wrote on X last month, "800,000 layoffs in 2025. 10,000 in September alone tied to AI. Jobs are disappearing fast. But here’s the truth no one wants to say: It’s the start of a new gold rush... for those who learn how to build with the machines, not fight them."

Working will be optional in the future. There will be universal high income.

Musk responded directly to that X, "Working will be optional in the future. There will be universal high income."
