If humans are not needed for work, they are not needed at all. They become useless animals at a zoo—soon-to-be extinct, outdated relics of curiosity.

And what does Musk propose to do when the masses of useless humans grow restless and rise up against their AI overlords?

Maybe he has a more permanent solution in mind.

I doubt he has thought of that. His mind seems to go to engineering problems, not human or societal problems.

A lot of those Silicon Valley types think that a universal income will just solve all the human problems. What they don't take into account is that work and the need to work is how humans derive meaning and the will to live. Take that away and humans are nothing but animals in a zoo.
