In the video clip, Elon Musk said, "People get confused sometimes they think an economy is money. Money is a database for exchange of goods & services. Money doesn't have power in & of itself. The actual economy is goods & services."
As the video gained new traction, several social media users remarked that only the richest guy in the world could assert that money has no influence. “This is a deep known secret that is so difficult for us to grasp! When u do… u become Elon Musk" one Twitter user wrote, while another wrote, "Life was much simpler when people barter food. Not that we should god back to that but money has made all of us greedy and blind."
