Indulge me for the coming delusion, but if we ignore who this is, forget all the reasons we know that we can’t trust him, and allow ourselves just a few moments to hope that we could live in such a world.
A world where manual labor is no longer needed, where people can just exist as large mammals are meant to exist. Robots will handle it all and we can just do as we please… and the robots are going to be plentiful because once enough of the process of making a robot becomes automated, the cost of it will go to zero. But to get there it is going to require a ton of money… these robots are going to be way too expensive for people to actually buy them, so investors and governments will help out. The investors will eventually lose everything, but that will put us on the way to having everything we need to be created through completely automated systems.
Of course, there will still be jobs for those who really want them - or more likely, who want them and are good at them - or even more likely, who knows the right people… but if we can get our basic needs taken care of it night not fully end poverty but it would be a step in the right direction.
But, alas… It’s Musk saying it so it’s only to further enrich himself and won’t actually happen.
Elon must have gotten some ketamine cut with Ajax cleaner to have this dilution.
This is going to make a world similar to the Time Machine. A massive group will happily outsource their need to think for the pleasure of leisure.
The Elon-oi.
I’d be OK if my descendents got to eat them.
I’m not sure if this kind of thing is just about enriching himself. Of course that’s a big part of it. But he also wants to be a great man of history. He wants to be the person who saves the world. He wants to be forever remembered as the greatest hero who ever lived.
He won’t, of course. Because he’s a clueless idiot. A clueless idiot who managed to fuck up his own PR so hard that he’s burnt away the reputation as a genius that he used to have.
But he really does want to be adored.
I’m gonna call major bullshit. He’s just riding the high of that insane paycheck (among other things, allegedly).
Nobody having to work and everyone living in a communist utopia? I know a few books that start that way, and those societies are not all roses and sunshine.
I would have personally approved of a trillion dollar project to make sure this plan DOES NOT happen.
But he’s going to steal all the money anyway, and use it to escape to Mars, only to die on the launch pad when the rocket predictably explodes…
They aren’t going to provide for people’s basic needs after the robots take their jobs. They’re going to keep the excess productivity for themselves. Just as they’ve always done. The only way that changes is by force, and by the time people get desperate enough for that they’ll have an army of robots at their disposal. We need to tackle that capitalist problem before we get to the point automation taking all the jobs.
Elon’s bullshit isn’t going to be that point though.
There’s only one Optimus I would trust like that, and it’s not the Amazon one.
After watching a deep dive into the Micheal Bay movies I’m not certain I would even trust Best First.
Can someone ask him to clarify what he mean by “eliminate poverty”?
Because there are a couple of way to do that which I’m not too found to.
Kill all poors obviously
AI executioners.
Ask one of his shitty robots! Failing that: “Hey Grok, how would you eliminate poverty?”
He could give all of the poor people some of his tesla shares.
Yes Elon will never face poverty but he will cut all benefits programs from those in need. He will cut all taxes he will pay and he will watch you die. That is the reality of these MAGAts.
Everyone single one of his companies is propped up on bullshit and government contracts. Tesla stock is a meme stock. The board and major shareholders will buy up all his bullshit and broken promises just to keep the stock price up. They cannot afford to have Tesla stock go down. Only up.
1 trillion dollars is like $3000 per american right? How can they have that much money to pay him?
It’s in Tesla stock and only if Tesla stock hits some insane price that’ll make it 2x or 3x more valuable than nvidia, so it’ll basically never happen. But the optics are still so bad.
Robots will cull the poor people so therefore we will have abundance.
Robots will cull the
poorpeople
Elon is a fucking grifter. Tesla sales plummeted about 50% after Elon’s public nazi shit and the company is somehow not losing money. Elon starts claiming Tesla is an AI and robotics company. They have no viable AI products (Tesla self driving is shit compared to the competition) and their robotics are decades behind conpeting companies (like boston dynamics) yet somehow Tesla still is making money…with 50% reduced sales and dumping money into product development dor things that are far from ready. I bet someone is cooking the books for Tesla so hard the whole company is constantly about to burst into flames.
It also has ties to the government where a lot of money is still coming from. Money that should probably go to NASA instead.
I also believe that there are ways to inflate apparent wealth (or rather, value of stock), which Musk is a master of. It will pop eventually and boy will it be nice to see him fall. Not that he’ll ever be really poor, but still.
Elon musk says he is going to kill all poor people.
He probably means it’ll feed the poor into a wood chipper.
“Feed the Poor” haha I see what you did there.
