If I were an evil factory owner, then I would replace my workers with machines and sell the produce of my factory to those providing the raw materials and to those owning other factories that produced goods that I wanted. It wouldn't be a matter of selling to the machines, it would be a matter of creating a closed market from which the means of production; including the copyrights and design of the machines, the expertise to operate them, and the raw materials necessary to create and operate them; never exited. In effect, everyone who did not own a machine, or was not part of a creative industry that produced art that matched my aesthetics, would simply become excess to requirements.
