I don't know what label I fall in (libertarian or whatever), but I too have the same question - where would the money come from?
There are also lots of other changes we can do, in addition (or before) to ideas like UBI. For example - making housing easier and affordable for young people and first time home buyers, freeing them from the tyranny of rentiers. Encouraging remote work (maybe with tax credits etc) to reduce commute time. This will also let people to move to rural areas. And so on. These ideas might be a bit easier to sell, than radical (but powerful) ideas like the UBI.
I don't see ideas like UBI happening in large countries like the US. Perhaps smaller, homogenous countries (nordic countries maybe?) can set the trend. But again, they are already doing well economically, so they may not even need UBI? I don't know
