Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, doesn’t think you should bother saving for the future. Not because he’s finally decided to go mask-off Bond villain and threaten to destroy the world, but because there’s going to be infinite money available thanks to the development of superintelligence.

Weird. Why was he recently so worried about the national debt and federal “waste” then?

Earlier this week, a Twitter user going by the handle @battleangelviv posted , “Justifying each of my questionable financial decisions with the fact that we’re headed towards a future of abundance. Don’t be like, totally reckless, but also most of it won’t matter in a few years anyway.” Musk later replied , “Saving money for the distant future is pointless with the advent of super intelligent abundance.”

This is actually a bit of a refrain for the trillionaire .…
