Every time new technology displaced status quo workers, never has the owner(s) of the new machines shared their wealth with the mass-unemployed. They horded all the good fortune only for their unborn great grandchildren, if that.

As I watch Elon et al speak of the great coming prosperity for those displaced by his new tech, I'm wondering how many normies has the richest man in the modern world already shared his fortunes with. People are already desperate in this economy and I don't see any middle-class folks singing the praises of savior Musk.

Are there any rare books that show this is the same empty promise always told to the working class prior to exterminating their skills' lively hood?
