Just finished watching Musk's latest interview, and the aftereffect is quite strong.

I can't quite describe the feeling, but if I had to sum it up in one sentence, it's the dizziness of standing on the edge of a generational divide.

This might be his most philosophical and candid interview in recent years. He does not hide his admiration for WeChat, saying that in China, you can almost live within WeChat: social + payment + content = the most efficient value exchange system. This might be X's ultimate ambition.

Even Tesla, in Musk's vision, is just an early form of robots. SpaceX, Tesla, and xAI are gradually merging on a foundational technology level: SpaceX = carrier, Tesla = body, xAI = soul.

Musk predicts that in 20 years, work will no longer be a necessity for survival but rather an optional hobby. He doesn't even use UBI but rather a more radical term: UHI (Universal High Income).

When AI and robots push production efficiency to the limit, the cost of goods and services will approach zero. Here’s the question—when you can have all the cotton candy, what else do you want?

Money, in essence, is a database for allocating labor. When labor is no longer scarce, the database becomes obsolete. The only value scale that will not be replaced is energy.

The level of civilization depends on how much energy you can harness. This is also why he is obsessed with solar energy, computing power, and Bitcoin.

You cannot legislate energy because energy follows the laws of physics.
