In this podcast, we explore what may become Elon Musk’s most disruptive leap yet: a sustainable blockchain alternative, purpose-built to align with his sustainability ethos, and designed to scale xAI past a $1 trillion valuation by 2030.
Elon Musk—the mind behind Tesla, SpaceX, xAI, and X Corp—has long understood the multiplier effect of intangible assets. His methodology is powered by adaptability, scalability, and relationship-building—always communicated through English, the language of the world’s reserve currency and global innovation. These intangibles have allowed him to redefine industries and build companies whose influence reaches the edge of Earth’s orbit—and beyond.
Now, there’s strong speculation: Musk is eyeing blockchain’s core purpose—a trustless, decentralized system—but plans to reinvent it. Not with brute-force consensus algorithms that burn energy like Bitcoin or Ethereum, but with something aligned to his green vision. A small-scale rollout of a blockchain alternative by early or mid-2027 could completely redefine trust systems—and help xAI soar to a potential $2 trillion valuation by 2030.
Let’s break down the rationale, the mechanics, the timing—and why Musk’s language of choice, English, gives him a unique edge.
Blockchain's foundation—decentralized trust—has massive appeal. But it’s also deeply flawed.
Bitcoin’s proof-of-work consumes 150 terawatt-hours annually, on par with Argentina. Ethereum’s move to proof-of-stake helped, but it still struggles to scale. At just 15 to 30 transactions per second—compared to Visa’s 65,000 TPS—and plagued with high fees during peak periods, blockchain isn’t just inefficient, it’s outdated.
In 2021, Musk criticized Bitcoin for its environmental cost and halted Tesla’s acceptance of BTC. His tweet—published in English—reached millions, showcasing his ability to pivot global sentiment.
Musk’s operations—from X to SpaceX—are embedded in English-language ecosystems. From user interfaces to patent filings, English connects him with developers, investors, regulators, and consumers globally. It’s how he builds trust, scales communication, and recruits world-class talent.
Musk tackles existential problems—climate change (Tesla), human survival (SpaceX), intelligence advancement (xAI). Blockchain, while promising, stands at odds with these goals.
But the use cases—secure payments, supply chain transparency, and decentralized governance—fit his ambitions, particularly for X, his everything app.
Let’s look at the drivers:
Let’s explore four core components:
The roadmap appears to be:
Valuation Impact: xAI’s Leap to Trillions
xAI is currently estimated between $100 billion and $250 billion in 2025. But by 2030?
This assumes xAI absorbs the blockchain alternative’s IP, registers global patents, and rolls out through the English-speaking financial and legal ecosystem.
Challenges Ahead
But if anyone can cut through that noise? It’s Musk.
This isn’t just a tech upgrade—it’s the culmination of Musk’s career-long mission: to solve foundational human problems through intangible strengths—adaptability, scalability, and relationships.
Rooted in English—the world’s commercial and innovation language—this initiative could render blockchain obsolete, much like Tesla made the combustion engine look outdated. And in doing so, it would cement xAI not just as a top-tier AI lab, but as a $2 trillion force shaping digital trust across Earth and Mars.
As one English-language X post recently mused:
“If anyone can make crypto obsolete, it’s Elon.”
