GoKawiilElon Musk calls saving money 'pointless' amid AI abundance claim
In an X post, Elon Musk said saving money for the distant future is 'pointless' given what he called the coming of 'super intelligent abundance.' Musk, whose net worth has topped roughly $900 billion following SpaceX's IPO, made the remark without elaborating on specifics.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The comment drew criticism given Musk's own wealth accumulation and his foundation's modest philanthropic record, including a reported 2023 shortfall of $421 million against required charitable giving, per the New York Times. Critics may see the statement as tone-deaf advice for people living paycheck to paycheck, though Musk did not explain how AI abundance would materially change personal finances for ordinary people.
