Elon Musk said superintelligent AI agents will one day exploit the financial system the way the Binance hacker did, "to gain currency for themselves, not a human."

Elon Musk said superintelligent AI agents will one day exploit the financial system the way the Binance hacker did, "to gain currency for themselves, not a human."

The line was a reply to a post about the Binance hacker, quoted by Cointelegraph, WatcherGuru and YourAnonOne on Oct. 30, 2026.

Context was the reported $6.3B Binance drain, where one hacker wallet put about 60M USDT on Aave and borrowed 19,762 ETH (about $44.6M), an example other accounts cited as "THIS" he meant. His warning is about a future possibility, not proof AI did the Binance attack.
