Elon Musk, now the world’s first trillionaire, has suggested that becoming a quadrillionaire is “not impossible,” pointing to future space-based industries and AI-driven production. He believes traditional currency may eventually fade, replaced by systems based on energy and mass as humanity expands beyond Earth through advanced technology

Elon Musk has already reached a historic financial milestone by becoming the world’s first trillionaire, but the Tesla and SpaceX chief has now suggested an even more extraordinary possibility—becoming a quadrillionaire.

The discussion began when the World of Statistics account on X highlighted that Musk would still need nearly $999 trillion to reach quadrillionaire status. Responding to the post, Musk said it was “not impossible.”

When asked how such immense wealth could ever be generated, Musk pointed to a future shaped by space expansion and advanced technology. He said that large-scale production facilities on the Moon and Mars could be key to achieving such a level of economic output.

Musk further suggested that by that stage of human development, conventional financial systems may no longer exist. Instead of money, he proposed that value could be measured in terms of mass and energy rather than currency.
