Musk Predicts Money Will Lose Meaning in AGI Era; Entrepreneur Says It's Logical But 20 Years Too Early

The author points out that an alternative organizational structure must be invented first to make this unnecessary. Even if successfully built in pioneer communities today, it is unlikely to incorporate a majority of humans within the next 20-30 years.
