The Tesla CEO said at the U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday that in the next 10 to 20 years, work will be optional, likening the decision to have a job to the more laborious upkeep of a vegetable garden.
“My prediction is that work will be optional. It’ll be like playing sports or a video game or something like that,” Musk said. “If you want to work, [it’s] the same way you can go to the store and just buy some vegetables, or you can grow vegetables in your backyard. It’s much harder to grow vegetables in your backyard, and some people still do it because they like growing vegetables.”
The future of optional work will be the result of millions of robots in the workforce able to usher in a wave of enhanced productivity, according to Musk. The tech mogul, worth about $470 billion, has made the recent push to expand Tesla beyond just electric vehicles, working on consolidating his sprawling business interests into his broader vision of an AI-fueled, robotic-powered future. That includes his goal of having 80% of Tesla’s value come from his Optimus robots, despite continuous production delays for the humanoid bots.

It’s good to have dreams, Elon. Sometimes God steps in & things go in a much different direction than you planned, lol.
It is similar to the people who say everyone should go into ‘the trades’ with nobody actually doing the research to build the next technology for the ‘trades’ to use/install/implement. The ‘trades’ are important and vital but are not sufficient on their own.

Musk said work will be optional. With 1 out of 8 Americans (illegals too) on welfare, we’re getting to the point where few will work. Money will be irrelevant thanks to welfare, shoplifting and theft.
