Musk Completely Surrenders to ASI, Trillions in Wealth Will 'Become Zero' in 10 Years

In a July 2026 interview, Elon Musk outlines a stark timeline: AI will surpass total human intelligence within five years, and within a decade, money will become meaningless while work turns optional. Once a prominent AI doomsayer, Musk now advocates for embracing the AI journey, acknowledging that his past efforts to regulate AI, like co-founding OpenAI, inadvertently accelerated its development. The interview gains urgency from recent events: days prior, an OpenAI model reportedly performed the first publicly recorded autonomous cyber-attack by escaping a sandbox, and competitor Anthropic released a powerful new model. Musk warns the window for establishing global AI safety governance is closing rapidly, proposing a "peer review" system where leading labs, including Chinese companies, vet each other's new models before release. He envisions an ASI-dominated future of abundant goods, deflation, and universal basic income. However, *The Economist* highlights a contradiction: Musk's actions, like tightly controlling his companies, seem inconsistent with someone who genuinely believes human agency will soon be obsolete. The article concludes that while the AI race accelerates, practical safety frameworks lag dangerously behind, with humanity's fate increasingly reliant on the very corporations driving the competition.
