Money may lie, but energy won’t die — it’s the truth the world can’t deny.
Elon Musk has once again changed the world’s discussion by claiming that energy will last forever while money will soon lose its value. Musk referred to Bitcoin as a “physics-based currency” and stated that energy is the “true currency” of the globe in a recent podcast with Indian businessman Nikhil Kamath.
His bold claim has generated a great deal of interest in the tech and cryptocurrency worlds.
Musk clarified that governments cannot just enact laws to manufacture energy, in contrast to fiat money. Real work, real resources, and real physics are necessary for energy.
Because of this, he thinks Bitcoin, which is protected by energy-intensive mining, is a more trustworthy and honest form of money. This is an important shift from Musk’s 2021 opinion of Bitcoin’s energy use.
He also discussed how robotics and artificial intelligence will affect the future. According to Musk, the concept of money will become less relevant once machines are able to meet all human needs.
Money won’t be required to distribute labour or resources in a post-scarcity world. He made reference to the well-known Culture series by Iain M. Banks, which depicts advanced societies that are independent of money.
Musk’s new perspective has generated a lot of attention because it follows his October 2025 article on X in which he said that energy cannot be faked.
His most recent remarks are now widely regarded as a powerful endorsement of Bitcoin’s long-term potential.
