If you were stranded on a desert island, would having trillions of dollars in your bank account be of any use? The answer is, a bowl of hot soup would be more useful than those numbers!

In an interview, Musk said that many people think the economy equals money, which is a big mistake. Money is just a "database" used to record and exchange goods and services; it has no power of its own.
