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.
It’s crazy how we all know this dude is the male cracked out version of Elizabeth Holmes and getting paid unfathomable sums of money to commit all of these obvious and serious crimes in public.
Delusional
Someone didn’t learn lessons from Wall-E. Who am I kidding, his ego is too inflated to learn.
what a beautiful mind he possesses!
Hugo Drax had it all figured out in Moonraker. We just need a higher natural resources per capita ratio, then it all works out easily.
He’s talking about a system to eliminate, not support and elevate the poor here, mark my words. Do not give this brain-damaged, broke-dick, eternally divorced Lex Luthor anything but sentencing for crimes against humanity.
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.
In late October 2021, Elon Musk was challenged to end world hunger by David Beasley, the director of the UN’s World Food Programme. Beasley claimed that a small portion of Musk’s wealth could solve world hunger, and Musk responded on Twitter that he would sell Tesla stock to do so, provided the UN could provide a detailed, transparent accounting of how the $6 billion would be spent. The WFP then released a plan, but Musk did not donate the money.
Now you put a stupid idea in front of me of Musk doing shit for the common folk just because no one in the higher class wants to have to deal with him, just to stroke his ego and make it to history books.
Ultimate pettiness that would benefit the whole world.
Worst part is, some naive part of me believes this idiot is capable of that. xD
He also said in his shareholder speech that Optimus would replace the penal system by following offenders around to prevent them committing crimes. He’s a fucking moron who’s been about to get away with making up complete bullshit to pump Tesla’s stock price for years and for some reason people STILL treat him with credulity.
In fact, if we imagine realistically the world that such people talk about, we are faced with a blade runner + rapid depletion of resources = slow degradation of man and a return to the Middle Ages, only with a terrible climate and a planet unsuitable for human life.
His hair looks so good though.
So you mean to say that Elmo lied again?
About everything?
You don’t say?
No, Optimus won’t solve poverty, it’ll make him a king
That is, of course, if Optimus would ever see the light of day and be actually functional which they’re so far behind with that I’m honestly unsure if I should laught at him or just feel sad for him
Elon must have gotten some ketamine cut with Ajax cleaner to have this dilution.
Sure sure, there’s already an animated show on Fox (regular network, not news) called Universal Basic Guys making fun of the idea when it’s not even being seriously considered yet. Here’s maybe a news flash for some rich folks: MOST people don’t mind working as long as they are PROPERLY COMPENSATED.
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.
