Not well intended at all - total self business interest.

We are in the midst of 4th industrial revolution .

In previous industrial revolution's economic pressure forced buggy whip makers to re tool to become auto suppers and carriage makers became body work makers for autos.

Timken went from making carriage parts to industrial bearings

AI is the most empowering technology in human history and it makes things that were once hard and slow very easy and fast.

This will enable displaced workers to start new companies of their own in a dynamic economy.

If we give people a basic wage they become video game playing stoners instead of entrepreneurs.

Elon Musk's brave new world sees see universal income funded idle drones as cash cow customers and revenue streams for his enterprises and he right;y sees motivated entrepreneurs are potential competitors who can leverage advanced technology to to compete with his economy of scale

This Star Trek economy fantasy is bull shit.

All big established companies need to protect their investment from lean , hungry innovators. Musk wants to kill entrepreneurs by killing entrepreneurial spirit of potential competitors by eliminated economic pressure to keep idle people from becoming competitors
