Elon is smart enough to come up with some pretty cool ideas and has enough money to make those ideas happen. However, his autism means he's lacking in other disciplines. He doesn't know how wealth is produced (hint: it comes from creating value, not from government fiat. Everyone was a millionaire in Weimar Germany.) He's fairly well insulated from the consequences of this idea, but I think he genuinely has no clue why inflation happens.
Seems like an unsustainable economic pipe dream that will beset by inflation not long after it is implemented. Furthermore let's address the elephant in the room and point out if that we're all made "rich" by some kind of universal basic income, wouldn't that just be setting a new baseline for who is poor and who is not? As @Romulus augustulus pointed out how would anyone in such a system have the money to afford AI products in the first place.
We shouldn't be letting illegals vote either.
Elon goes into the economics of it more here:
Agreed, but is there even conclusive proof they are voting? Don't get me wrong, with how hard the left fights to prevent the SAVE Act, I am confident they do. I'm just curious about how that works when they're supposed to have a census of citizens prior so it's not like Hondurans could vote without citizenship. I thought illegals got them more seats and gibs. Then subsequently, they can grant the illegals citizenship and have lifelong voters?
Yes, there have been a few caught or turned themselves in. The problem is that the dems have made it impossible to actually monitor for fraud it unless they literally brag about it.
Well he seems to think that AI will generate enough wealth that the government will be able to consistently provide a universal income while also having enough income by itself to sustain growth and providing for citizens. Idk if this is possible. To me it sounds like a communist state with AI supplementing the underpaid workers.
Like Elon I've never really worked a minute in my life, so I think it's fine.
Told you the admin was backing off on mass deportations.
You're ignoring that Trump has reduced legal immigration as well.
You shouldn’t quote me and use my shit for your stupid little trolling/fetish/dooming/whatever. It isn’t polite.
The GOP is going to be the GOP... we really need a purge of some sort it's getting exhausting now. whether it's RINOs, boomercons, reaganites..
If anyone actually attends my funeral, first I expect them to unleash an endless wave of offensive jokes to punish everyone involved for not arranging a wake instead of a funeral, but I also expect every tasteless joke imaginable to be blasted at high volume so everyone has a good time laughing at and celebrating a life, not mourning a death.
Hell, even “gallows humor” is useful for some people in stages of grief.
