What we covered
Elon Musk says robots will make money irrelevant. By his own example, a trillion dollars on a desert island buys nothing. Fair enough. Money was never the motive. People adopt money as a route to safety, status and meaning, and those motives don't retire when the robots clock in. Robots may end the price of things. They won't end the meaning people assign to them.
