Musk Roasts Google's Quantum Paper: Maybe You Can Recover Your Wallet Password After Forgetting It

According to 1M AI News monitoring, Elon Musk joked after retweeting a Google post on quantum secure whitepaper discussions on X: "Thinking positively, if you forget your wallet password, you might be able to recover it in the future."

This joke refers to a whitepaper released today by Google's quantum AI team. Google stated that in the future, breaking 256-bit elliptic curve encryption protecting systems like Bitcoin could require fewer than 500,000 physical quantum bits, a reduction of about 20 times from previous estimates. Google also mentioned that the team has publicly presented conclusions using zero-knowledge proofs without revealing attack paths and will continue to advance post-quantum cryptographic migration along its 2029 timeline.
