Universal high income sounds great to people who have no idea where money comes from or who benefits and who loses from the theft.
Of course Elon would promote it.

In a hard money world everyone would have "Universal high income" but it would look like universal high standard of living. The United States could look totally different without the last 50 years of financial repression.

The government should give everyone a billion dollars so that 1) we're all billionaires and 2) the USD finally dies and people flock harder into hard money

when the farmer comes to feed his pigs in the pen they're happy and starving for the slop. its safe to say at this point if you're still on x, you're in the pen.

Just the hopeful notion itself helps keep people in the fiat control structure

UHI is just a simplified form of social support, but with a higher floor and less bureaucracy. The baseline standard of living keeps rising as it always has with technological progress.

Savage. But... Appropriate? I mean it's an accepted thing now that to keep the game going, UBI in some format or another will be voted for.

So what is the realistic alternative if the future tech stack does live up to the hype? Corporations will shed people-related costs and there will not be 1:1 job replacement. If there truly is massive abundance in non scarce goods and services, it doesn't really make sense to create new businesses c...

yes, in the same vein of not realizing where money comes from, they also don’t understand UBI inverts the relation between an individual and society.

The disappointing thing is that Im almost certain he knows that ubi is a non solution. I remember he argued against it voraciously to Rogan during covid.

Musk and crew also promised AI would only be used for hard work freeing up time for creative industries and actually CREATE new jobs. No AI is purely being used in the US to replace the most human orientated jobs first.

"Qué más pretendés saber, eh, vos sos un tonto, si no sabés dónde viene el dinero ni quién es el que se beneficiá y quién es el que pierde, pero a mí esto me parece más un golpe de Estado del cual Elon va a sacar beneficios, no un cambio de estructura

Of course most don't have a clue about money. Elon does I think. Problems here: 1. Democracy is only as good as people voting are wise and informed(media lies). So they'll choose that. 2. Prices will rise. UBI will not be enough to live. 3. Now they have UBI AND have to work. Lose any of this 2 an...

Elon should prove it. If he thinks he can make everything free he should start from giving free teslas and homes. Without touching monetary policies. We'll see how long he'll be able to do it.
