...was thinkin' 'bout somethin' the other day on my drive.
Is there enough natural resources for AI robots to make work optional and currency irrelevant?
I don't think anybody wanna go to war to annex land for what he talkin' 'bout.
Woulda been better building more cities back in the 80s to grow the middle class and improve human capital.

Didn't he just fight the Tesla board tooth and nail for months so he could get a trillion dollar compensation package approval :gucci:
What he's saying makes zero sense in a capitalist framework. The fact you got people cheering on the elimination of SNAP during the rise of AI is mind boggling

u sound dumb as hell
that nygga literal sleep in his office at telsa for days he works harder than the average person easily
secondly you never heard of the concept of UBI
people really don't understand how much harder life was before now
go read a book nygga
:mjlol: You’re the dumb one breh that guys like this rely on because you literally believe his lies and propaganda.

Sleeping in your office is not working. secondly the man tweets all day and you can literally see his private jet travel on Reddit.

He is as big a pump faker as Trump and liar. Go read about hyperloop and the boring company. He is an ok venture capitalist. Not iron man like he tries to sell to people.

My thing is, if work is irrelevant and everyone is wealthy, then what value does money have?

These people are so brain dead that they don't even understand what they suggest. The whole reason of having wealth is so that you minimize work. If work is no longer a factor than "wealth" is more abstract. Which means we no longer need to give these people energy.
Money has value based on scarcity. Doesn’t matter how much of the population has the money just that there is a scarce amount being traded. If that money is all hoarded by a select few they can trade it amongst themselves. In fact this is already happening to some extent. The majority of the wealth and value of wealth is due to movement of the economy by the rich and less so by the poor. The fact the AI bubble is what is keeping the economy afloat right now is more evidence of this. The average person provides no value in the AI space outside of the free data they provide for harvest. It’s just a bunch rich corporations trading with each other.

UBI is not happening without civil war or some major conflict between classes. The rich would rather just wipe out the excess humans than have less wealth. You will have to take it from them.

Is it a coincidence that they are taking away social services, healthcare, making it harder to get vaccines for illnesses, dismantling public education, and basically killing any social safety net or welfare while at the same time telling you they plan on making you unemployed in the future by replacing you with AI. It’s almost like they are already trying to cull some of the population. These people view most of the public like peasants and parasites. They would let them all starve if they could get away with it.

It will happen but you can’t think in the current framework of today. People need to look at history and realize the way we live today is a modern invention. In fact, the concept of work as it currently exists is less than 100 years old. People are going to be in for a real shock as AI turns our current paradigm upside down and out of existence. What Elon says sounds like it might be nonsense but it’s all aligning, crypto, AI and robotics and data, these 4 things all go hand in hand. It’s why you see the richest companies working together, it’s why you see the economic and geopolitical shyts around the world all happening in real time and at an astronomical pace. All I will say is if you’re confused by his statement or saying it’s too far fetched, you need to start deep diving more.

Just like when he claimed in 2016 that full self driving will be a reality within a year?

Or when he claimed Humans will leave for Mars in 2024?

Must is a compulsive liar and he makes outlandish claims to pump up Tesla stock. His track record is full of failed promises.

I'm aware. My thing is he specifically said "wealthy", not "rich". Wealth encapsulates a ton of things beyond just monetary gains. And even still, Wealth grows and is passed on.
My point is, if WEALTH is no longer scares than the extremely wealthy will have no inherent advantages over anyone else. The differences of what one can PHYSICALLY do in their lifetime with a 50 billion dollars vs. 100 billion dollars isn't all that different. At that point, none of it matters. Because work and wealth itself will have no value.

If trade isn't coupled with means of production or labor then it's virtually meaningless.
