Elon Musk dismantles the idea of economic scarcity and defends a future with unlimited potential for new jobs and businesses, highlighting advances such as artificial intelligence, renewable energy and skilled immigration as pillars to transform the global economy.
Elon Musk’s thoughts on the economy are always eye-catching. He recently made a statement that could change the way we see the future of work. According to him, there is “infinite potential” to create jobs and businesses. But what does that mean?
The “Fixed Pie” Fallacy and Economic Thinking
Have you ever heard of the “fixed pie” fallacy? It’s the idea that the economy is like a pie with limited slices. If someone takes a bigger slice, there is less left for others. Musk challenged this view by saying that we can actually make more pies.
He pointed out that many of the professions and technologies we have today simply didn’t exist 20 or 30 years ago. Think of smartphones, social media and electric cars. All of these have created jobs and changed the market. According to him, this proves that the future is not a zero-sum game, where someone always loses and someone else wins.

Examples of growth and innovation over the past 30 years
Remember when the internet was something restricted to a few experts? Today, it moves billions of dollars and employs millions of people. Companies like Tesla, SpaceX and Neuralink are clear examples of how innovation creates previously unthinkable opportunities.
And it’s not just technology. Apps like Uber and iFood, which no one could have imagined decades ago, are now part of our daily lives and provide jobs for thousands of people. Musk believes the same could happen in new sectors like artificial intelligence, renewable energy and space exploration.
Skilled Immigration and Musk's Perspective
Another point Musk raises is the importance of skilled immigration. In a discussion about green cards, he supported the idea of merit-based criteria. “We need the best, regardless of where they were born,” he said.
Still, he says, this makes sense, especially in an increasingly connected world. Limiting opportunities by borders is like closing your eyes to talent that could boost the economy.
The Role of Sriram Krishnan and David Sacks
Sriram Krishnan, a name that is gaining momentum, has been appointed by Trump to lead the US AI policy. Working in partnership with David Sacks and Musk, he aims to ensure that the US leads the way in the development of AI and cutting-edge technology.
This collaboration isn’t just about smart machines. It’s about aligning policies that ensure jobs, innovation, and, of course, the U.S.’s role as a leader in this sector. For Musk, this is yet another example of how we can expand the “economic pie” for everyone.
How might this vision impact the future of work?
Musk’s vision inspires governments and businesses to think beyond their limitations. The billionaire believes that the infinite potential for creating jobs depends not only on technology, but also on smart policies, global collaboration and the encouragement of creativity.
Elon Musk claims that the only real limitation is our imagination. The “fixed pie” fallacy has no place in a world where innovation can create opportunities for all.
Yes! Professionalization would be the path to the economy of the future; but, if education, which has always been and will always be essential for human development, is treated as an instrument for maintaining social inequality, a weapon of capitalism, until when will this not come up against the maintenance of the people's thoughtlessness and lack of criticism in relation to the necessary politicization???
Is this serious? Elon Musk demystifies economic thinking? Well, with the uberization of work, you can do anything, right? No, it isn't, and he knows it. This guy is nothing more than a peddler of illusions and knows nothing about “economic thinking”. Here he shows how these new oligarchs emerged... And here's what to expect from the stupid, wild and **** capitalism of the USA, where he inserts himself like a doorknob... There is no “new economic thinking” behind this, just scoundrelism and trickery.
