Friday, August 14, 2026


Michael Saylor, a billionaire businessman, stated that artificial intelligence may reduce the cost of life's necessities but will not eliminate money because people will compete for limited goods that confer status. Saylor disagreed with Elon Musk's prediction that money will become meaningless in the near future, saying "Everybody doesn't get a Hampton's house. Everybody doesn't get their own private jet." The dispute centers on whether AI advancement will fundamentally change the role of currency in human society.
