Does he know if money becomes irrelevant so will he?
Says the ultra rich guy 🤡
So why he wanted 1 trillion from Tesla?
What an ass.
No, it won’t.
Complete bullshit.
*for the already rich
the he should be totally ok with letting go of all of his assets and giving them to those in need for free.
Sure, work will be optional for the ultra-rich, while the rest of us grind away until we die.
Says the money hoarder
Money will indeed be irrelevant when a few billionaires have it all
*for him and other billionaires.
(Added the last part, as Elon clearly forgot it)
Yeah, at which point they’ll purge the poor, not lift them up.
Yeah, think he’s pushing for the Skynet timeline. Where work and money are irrelevant because everyone’s dead and the world’s on fire.
Money is irrelevant to slaves.
In 5-10 years Elon will still be talking about how people just need to get a new job and pull themselves up by their bootstraps and stop complaining about the robot that took their job. He’ll probably actively spend money to defeat political candidates that are pro UBI.
Then why does he need so fucking much of it?
I wish a smart person (not Elon) would game this out.
I don’t see any kind of net positive outcome for the general public when the greediest of the greedy are the ones who own the AI.
Then he should give all his money away to show us how much he believes this will happen
But not in a good way. The oligarchy will hoard the actual resources, food, land, etc. You can optionally work for them, but wont pay any more than the minimum that they can pay a machine (essentially zero). Money will be irrelevant because everyone will be in poverty and inflation will be insane.
FSD next year.
They said this in the 50s and 60s as well as technology began progressing. The only thing that happened was in the 80s, the capitalists decided that any new gains belong to them. And them alone.
The same will happen with AI. They’ll cull the population before they pay people to sit at home.
Then he should be fine with giving all of his away now.
He’s describing a communist utopia
Is that what you tell the cashier at the grocery store?
Hint: choices will be slavery or death.
WHERE. DOES. THE. ENERGY. COME. FROM. FUUUUUUUUUUCK.
If money will become irrelevant, he won’t mind giving all of his away then?
Sure, why is then trying to become the worlds first trillionaire?
Also, soon your car will drive you to work without needing your intervention or attention; since 2018!
But not for you. Now move on Citizen.
What I don’t get is how conservative neoliberal economic policy square with an AI driven post scarcity fantasy? To my eye it sure as shit doesn’t.
Then why are they accumulating all the money?
Self driving cars in five years.
Says the guy who wants to be the first trillionaire
If money’s going to be irrelevant, why is he so fixated on collecting all of it?
Seriously, fuck this guy. How are ppl still listening to this asshole?
Man with too much money claims money is irrelevant. Got it.
Yeah cause people like Musk are just going to give things to people who aren’t working. Since they love to do that so much now.
/s.
Yeah that’s why he just asked for a trillion. Get f*cked!
Mr Musk is probably absolutely correct here. AI WILL replace many functions and make work optional.
Of course the options will be to compete, in an ever increasing pool of talent, for non replaceable jobs or starve.
Those are both options. Unfortunate ones for the vast majority, but options none the less.
Can it make politician’s irrelevant? Bills written and passed by AI..Heck, how about treaties and trade deals?
So why is he insisting on a megalomaniac $1,000 B bonus in 2035?
Subtext, regular people will become some kind of cattle equivalent. They don’t need money, they’re just given some basics to survive and are the product.
Any sort of timeline from Musk should be treated as an absolute joke. He’s always making grandiose claims about how fast he will do something and he never even comes close to meeting those deadlines. Has he even come close to delivering on any of his claims?
Prove it Leon. Stop asking Tesla board for more, and start giving away at least half of what you already possess. Then I’ll start listening to
Ai is no where close to doing dick. And we don’t have enough processing power for it to be relevant. Plus AI can’t build houses. Can’t do surgeries.
