   	Elon Musk says that in 10 to 20 years, work will be optional   
   	and money will be irrelevant thanks to AI and robotics.   
      
   	"My prediction is that work will be optional. It'll be like   
   	playing sports or a video game or something like that,"   
   	Musk said. "If you want to work, [it's] the same way you   
   	can go to the store and just buy some vegetables, or you   
   	can grow vegetables in your backyard. It's much harder to   
   	grow vegetables in your backyard, and some people still do   
   	it because they like growing vegetables."   
      
   Curiously, when I looked up "The Midas Plague" to refresh my memory,   
   it turns out that the happy couple are blessed by Old Man Elon, in a   
   bit of incredible serendipity!
