Elon Musk explains which company will conquer the future:
A few days ago, someone wrote something interesting to Elon Musk:
"The company that extracts energy from the sun in space will be the most valuable company in the world." ๐ก
Elon replied that he was right and that it is "inevitable." ๐ค
Stop for a moment and think,
The richest man in the world claims that the greatest wealth in the future will not be money... ๐ต
Why? โ
Because he sees a hidden side of artificial intelligence. ๐ฑ
Artificial intelligence is essentially a machine that converts electricity into intelligence, the more electricity you provide it, the smarter it will become. ๐ง
Therefore, the real competition is not over chips or software, but over electricity. โก๏ธ
Even if you collect the most powerful chips, if you don't have the energy to power them, they will turn into rusty iron. ๐ต
This need for electricity is growing at an insane rate. โ๏ธ
For example, Microsoft reopened a closed nuclear power plant just to supply electricity to its artificial intelligence. ๐ค
All the electricity from the power plant will go to the artificial intelligence of only one company. ๐ฑ
Today, one artificial intelligence center consumes an amount of electricity equal to an entire city. Tomorrow, it will consume as much as an entire country. ๐ญ
The situation that has arisen is surprising,
Demand is rising, but supply cannot grow at the same rate. ๐
The electricity shortage is increasing, and anything that is scarce increases in value. ๐
And that's exactly what Elon sees. ๐
In the age of artificial intelligence, the most valuable thing will not be gold or money, but energy. ๐ก
So what will solve this demand? ๐ต
The quickest and cheapest answer is the sun. โค๏ธ
Coal will run out, oil will run out, but the sun?
It sends free and infinite energy every day. ๐ก
Today, most solar panels are manufactured by China. ๐จ๐ณ
But Earth has a limit to the amount of energy it can absorb from the sun, there is no sun at night, clouds block the light, and a huge area is required to install panels. ๐ค
More importantly, Earth absorbs only a very small part of the energy the sun emits; the sun disperses light in all directions, and Earth is just a tiny dot in this ocean. ๐
Therefore, as the demand for artificial intelligence grows, one day we will not be able to get enough energy from the sun on Earth. โณ
This is where the crazy idea mentioned at the beginning comes in:
If demand is unlimited, the source must also be unlimited. ๐ก
And this resource is the sun itself in space, in space, the sun never sets, the atmosphere does not block the light, and it arrives at full intensity. โ๏ธ
The solution is exactly that.
To cover the sun with an enormous number of panels to collect all its light,
That's exactly what Elon says. ๐
In his opinion, such a system would collect trillions of times the amount of energy humans currently use. โก๏ธ
Since we use only a tiny fraction of the sun's power, at that moment, the economy will no longer be measured in dollars, but in energy. ๐ก
And then the sentence mentioned at the beginning gains meaning:
If energy is the money of the future, then the company that collects it directly from the sun will be the most valuable. ๐ต
In fact, the whole matter boils down to one sentence:
Intelligence is produced from energy; therefore, whoever excels in the future will be the one with the most energy. โก๏ธ
This competition is happening today on Earth; tomorrow it will happen around the sun. ๐ก
The world today still measures wealth in money. ๐ช
But the money of the artificial intelligence era was determined long ago, and it is: energy. โก๏ธ
