Musk: We need universal basic income because robots will take all the jobs
- elcct 10y agoI think economy is not his strongest part. Basic income will become new zero if it was ever introduced effectively rendering it useless. Maybe he should read about Musa I of Mali? I think if robots will take all the jobs, what these robots will produce will be extremely cheap, perhaps even free.
- notduncansmith 10y agoJust because everyone has the same amount doesn't mean that everyone has an infinite amount. It's still a scarce resource.
- eli_gottlieb 10y agoNo, no, Elon: you need to phrase it as a threat. "You need to institute universal basic income, because I am building robots to take all your jobs."
- qbrass 10y agoIf it were actually threatening, it's easier to just stop him before he acted on it.
- eli_gottlieb 10y agoSabotaging a billionaire's agenda isn't that easy, really.
