Elon Musk keeps spamming this "universal high income" nonsense 😂

"All jobs will be optional. There will be universal high income."

What could possibly go wrong if you put every citizen on the State's payroll? Surely, they won't abuse UBI (Universal Basic Income) in any way.



Unfortunately, UBI is going to be inevitable.

And UBI is not just "free money" as Elon would like you to believe. It's a control rail to manage the losers of the reset, stabilize consumption and harden behavioral obedience.

Unfortunately, it's not about "ending poverty" 😂

UBI is a centrally engineered, always-on income stream from the State to individuals, delivered through traceable digital channels, with conditions hiding inside the surrounding system (ID, tax, social credit, eligibility rules).

UBI is going to be perfect for soft policing:
- Carrot: "Behave, and your floor is guaranteed."
- Stick: "Break certain rules (tax, "health", speech, protest in the wrong way), and administratively you can be investigated, delayed, or temporarily cut off."

It is a perfect on-ramp to the CBDC + ID stack. "To get your UBI, you must:"
- register your digital wallet,
- verify your ID,
- keep your biometrics up to date,
- accept the terms (AML, travel-rule, etc.).

That brings everyone into the rails they already want for tax, surveillance, and capital controls.

So essentially, UBI = social shock absorber + behavioral throttle after they've run the Great Reset.

I never got the UBI stuff. No government ever had the discipline to print alongside gains of its society productivity... why they would now? That smells like inflation to me.

You’ll also be required to have some verified social media account so they know whether or not you’re pro-Israel/islam or pro-America(n), as to assign the proper social credit score.

Elon want to be one of the UBI providers, use X, give away your data and get X tokens that you can spend on some stuff including Optimus bots tasks.

Its dystopian. People on UBI will have no control over their lives. Without Bitcoin it seems like the only option unfortunately

If UBI is just a once a week or month airdrop into a wallet with no strings attached then it might be a useful safety net for the less fortunate. Unfortunately, there are far too many people in society who think that people need to be controlled and monitored constantly (and a correspondently large...

I mean, UBI always sounded like welfare to me 🤷‍♀️

Elon is a bad joke. I cannot understand why so many Bitcoiners like this fiat dude, who is developing surveillance tech for the state and wears a Baphomet costume.

Universal high income is trivial to achieve. Simply choose a segment of the population to exclude from your definition of "universal" and then enslave them to work for everyone else. And don't forget to limit birth rates for everybody in order to maintain the status quo. Bam! Universal high income! ...

Very much how things are heading in Spain. 80-90% of the population would sacrifice the family dog if it was a requirement of getting UBI.

And the sad thing is, anyone opting out will only shoot themselves in the foot as they fall behind those taking it. Once prices adjust, it’s back to square one needing an income to buy a house etc, as everyone can bid the minimum. back to square one with a dependency on a benefit to survive.
