Elon Musk svindler Bitcoin igjen

In a fresh episode of the WTF podcast with Nikhil Kamath, co-founder of Zerodha, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and xAI, shared his thoughts on the future of the economy, where Bitcoin plays a key role. The interview, released on November 30, 2025, quickly garnered millions of views and sparked lively discussions in the crypto community.

Musk emphasized that energy is the "real currency" that cannot be printed or counterfeited, unlike fiat money.

"Energy is the real currency. That's why I said Bitcoin is based on energy. You can't regulate energy through legislation. You can't just pass a law and create energy," Musk stated.

He added that Bitcoin is the first currency fundamentally tied to physics, not politics:

"You convert electricity into a coin. In a world of unlimited solar energy, the real scarcity becomes computations and energy."

According to Musk, in the future, AI and robots will eliminate the scarcity of goods and services, leading to deflation and the disappearance of traditional fiat currencies.

"Money will eventually become a relic, and energy will take center stage as the determining factor of value," he noted.

Musk also predicted that in 10-20 years, work will become completely optional thanks to advancements in AI: "Work will be like a hobby, not a necessity." This is particularly inspiring for crypto enthusiasts, who are often criticized for "lacking real jobs" - in a couple of decades, this will become the norm.

Our research confirms that these statements from Musk are not new, but in this interview, they come across as especially compelling. On the X platform, posts about Musk's praise for Bitcoin are racking up thousands of likes and reposts. For example, one user noted: "This is the strongest endorsement of Bitcoin from Elon without a direct call to buy." Other posts highlight that Musk views Bitcoin as an "impossible to counterfeit" asset based on energy.

Despite the enthusiasm, the market's reaction to the interview has been subdued. As of December 1, 2025, Bitcoin's price is hovering around $85,000, with a recent dip below that mark, which may be tied to broader market factors rather than directly to Musk's statements. However, historically, Elon's tweets and statements have often influenced BTC's price, and this interview could serve as a catalyst for a new rally in 2026.
