Crazy times…

Elon Musk says eventually “Working will be Optional”, and everyone will be given a Universal High-Income

- Jobs, where there is no physical work involved, will be eliminated first.

- working will be optional because of robots and AI

Interesting thesis and confirms what I suspect (Universal basic income) ?

We're headed for a massive change and a potential "reset" that has never happened before.

Or maybe we're all just getting worried about nothing and the timeless principles of capitalism will work it out

Honestly, I dont know how this goes....

[Skywise]

There are things men must do to remain men...

[jmacusa]

Kinda sounds a little like H.G. Wells “Things To Come.’’

[SmokingJoe]

The 42 million on SNAP will just love that.
They don’t really work anyway.

[bakeneko]

Musk is absolutely psychotic and why anybody here takes him seriously at all is a disgrace.

[onona]

Yup, could see this coming a mile away

[RandFan]

LOL what? He runs some of the biggest companies aroundd but OK...

Your comment is absurd if you dont mind me saying

[SmokingJoe]

Except he built the rockets that take US astronauts to the Space station, after America was forced to depend on the Russians for 9 years at very high cost.
Plus created the only successful US big automobile company in over a 100 years.
Plus created the Boring Company.
Plus created Neuralink.
Plus first man in history to be worth $500 Billion?
Apart from all that, what exactly has he ever done?

Say, how many billion dollar companies have you ever created?

[onona]

There are things men must do to remain men...

They better

[Telepathic Intruder]

I don’t believe the competitive nature of human beings will ever allow a utopian future. Such as Star Trek for example, where people work only to better themselves and the rest of humanity.

[RandFan]

In Star Trek money is abolished. I think that is going too far but there’s going to be some big changes and this is unprecedented

[dadfly]

news for you Elon. it’s already optional.

[Secret Agent Man]

Less incentive since modern women aren’t worth it anymore.

[Sequoyah101]

Not a life I want to live.

Musk may be smart but he must have missed Maslow and I am pretty sure he ain’t got a lick of damn sense.

[SmokingJoe]

Where?

[dadfly]

America.

[Sequoyah101]

Working, thinking, trying, failing, conquering challenges and coping with defeat are amongst those things that make us men and better men for it.

[Jonty30]

Working will be optional and so will getting an income.

There will be strings attached to the income. Comply or get fined.

[Sequoyah101]

Thank you very much! I think I am the only one who sees that most of the time.

[SmokingJoe]

Is working optional for you?
