Indulge me for the coming delusion, but if we ignore who this is, forget all the reasons we know that we can’t trust him, and allow ourselves just a few moments to hope that we could live in such a world.
A world where manual labor is no longer needed, where people can just exist as large mammals are meant to exist. Robots will handle it all and we can just do as we please… and the robots are going to be plentiful because once enough of the process of making a robot becomes automated, the cost of it will go to zero. But to get there it is going to require a ton of money… these robots are going to be way too expensive for people to actually buy them, so investors and governments will help out. The investors will eventually lose everything, but that will put us on the way to having everything we need to be created through completely automated systems.
Of course, there will still be jobs for those who really want them - or more likely, who want them and are good at them - or even more likely, who knows the right people… but if we can get our basic needs taken care of it night not fully end poverty but it would be a step in the right direction.
But, alas… It’s Musk saying it so it’s only to further enrich himself and won’t actually happen.
Uugghh! Every time I hear him speak, I am reminded of just how stupid he is. He thinks like a 12 year old.
Not one mention of how robots that do all the work for us, is going to solve the problem of how people are supposed to be able to afford to live, when no one has a job anymore.
Are you volunteering to pay for everyone’s UBI, Elon? No? That’s what I thought.
He is not a smart man. He maintains a facade of supreme intelligence, somehow, and continually tricks people into believing it. If anything, it’s more a reflection on the American people than anything else, and that’s incredibly disappointing to type out.
I just don’t think this is the case. He’s an incredibly smart man but his intelligence lies in assembling talent and raising investment to allow said talent to create the vision. He’s basically in the same vein of Steve Jobs. Our media driven culture likes figureheads so he gets all the credit and has started to believe his own hype. Bill Burr the comedian has a great bit about their function.
Musk is a horrendous man but clearly very autistic and desperate for a validation that money and success can’t provide. There’s something very tragic about him. The bitterness and resentment that sits at the base of his ego, frustrated at not being popular or ‘cool’ despite his success and money drives a LOT of his bad decisions. It’s all an attempt to control.
tesla/spaceX have literal teams whose only job it is to keep this moron from driving the company into the ground.
he’s an idiot.
His talent is getting money to fund things by lying and exaggerating which doesn’t require intelligence. That is a learned skill, frequently learned by kids of the wealthy like Musk and is generally successful long term when their early lies paid off and investors are betting on the person continuing to lie in a way that makes them money.
there are also people who make their living by following rich people to get them to fund projects. I read about construction companies that would follow Trump around and have people slip him ideas so he felt he was this amazing business man. All the politicians are following this method.
You know that people do this with Elon and any other rich person. Stroke the king’s ego by pretenting it was all their idea and get rich off of it.
Musk is not smart at all. He is nothing but a fraud that tries to convince the internet that he is smart.
The guy has an degree in economics.
He tried getting a degree in Physics, but he was not smart enough for it.
Only 2 years after he left school, and after the school got a huge donation, did he get the degree.
The guy has lived their entire life on cheat codes. None of his “achievements” are his.
You’re confusing intelligence with cunning.
He is cunning to a tee.
I would have thought cunning is a form of intelligence? Using strategy and planning to apply knowledge? I’m intrigued, will have a look. Cheers. I just think people are desperate to pretend Musk is stupid because he’s turned out to be a nasty piece of work. They want to strip him of his intelligence as a way of getting back at him. I can’t take people seriously who think he’s stupid. Tesla and Space X. Come on.
He’s a Nazi who will get what Nazis get
Dude. It’s the USA. Those people will simply starve then. Problem solves itself. Like magic, but without work!
Also WHY would we want robots to do the work for us ? The problem is generally the working conditions, not the mere fact people have to do it.
Quite a claim from the guy who labeled things “Full self driving” and “Autopilot”. 🙄
That’s because despite what many got fooled, he isn’t an engineer, he is just good at selling shit to people.
As aneengineer he is the worst kind of marketing rep. His BS claims have to be back filled and it never works. “Requirements by Press Release”
Elon, this isn’t 2014. Only your die hard fans believe you.

It’s crazy how we all know this dude is the male cracked out version of Elizabeth Holmes and getting paid unfathomable sums of money to commit all of these obvious and serious crimes in public.
By “eliminate poverty” he means let robots do all the jobs the poors do and let the poors die.
Elon is a fucking grifter. Tesla sales plummeted about 50% after Elon’s public nazi shit and the company is somehow not losing money. Elon starts claiming Tesla is an AI and robotics company. They have no viable AI products (Tesla self driving is shit compared to the competition) and their robotics are decades behind conpeting companies (like boston dynamics) yet somehow Tesla still is making money…with 50% reduced sales and dumping money into product development for things that are far from ready. I bet someone is cooking the books for Tesla so hard the whole company is constantly about to burst into flames.
It also has ties to the government where a lot of money is still coming from. Money that should probably go to NASA instead.
I also believe that there are ways to inflate apparent wealth (or rather, value of stock), which Musk is a master of. It will pop eventually and boy will it be nice to see him fall. Not that he’ll ever be really poor, but still.
LMAO! My friend, he’s just saying it so he can get the government to buy a bunch of robots so he can meet the Tesla pay agreement requirements and become a trillionaire. There are so many reasons what your fantasy can’t and won’t happen.
Oh, I know … and that’s what makes it sad is because he could help to make the world a better place.
Only if you believed his bollocks, which we all know is not to be believed
This is what makes me sad every day. I’d love to be so rich money is just water out of a faucet to me, but at that point why not just do good? Like, even in a selfish way? If you’re so fucking rich that you can change the fates of nations, why not do it just out of hubris and the desire to be put in the history books? "CaptainBlinky, who was known as a relentless capitalist, died having given his 200 billion dollars in wealth before he died to solve homelessness in the nation and will be known forever as the “homemaker.” Like, why would you NOT do some sh like that? It boggles.
Isn’t this the same guy who tweeted that he would end world hunger for something less than $6 billion if the World Food Programme would supply a plan? And then WFP supplied the plan. And then Musk just…didn’t supply the funs to prevent people from starving.
Not quite, someone posted that he could end it and he responded that if the WFP provided a plan showing the specifics of how world hunger could be ended for that amount he would fund it. WFP then provided a plan for how that amount could be used to help reduce world hunger for a short time and Elon said “the claim was end world hunger, not reduce it temporarily” which meant they didn’t meet challenge.
The easiest way to end world hunger is to have a daily ritual where we sacrifice the wealthiest person alive every day until world hunger ends. Every day a new wealthiest person will be made so we will not run out too quickly.
All hail Patecatl!
Isn’t this the same guy who performed two sieg heils in front of a live audience on live TV. Then he was to much of a sissy to admit it.
I miss pre-obama times when I didn’t know every corrupt jackasses name from spouting BS on Xitter.
So his robots will eliminate the poor?
That’s what I’m hearing. Honestly, I think that checks out.
He sounds quite deranged. Maybe he needs a timeout in a sift padded room. Without internet.
Ju
He can’t even hire people that can do it let alone do any of it himself.
Perhaps he should get Full Self Driving to work first… 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think you may have misunderstood…it’s actually fool self driving.
Ooh ooh and that hyper-loop bullshit. Oh and that tunnel boreing thing.
I still can’t believe the man tried to sell tunnels lmao. Actually sold one to Vegas 😭
Can the rich should stop running all the cool stuff, please? Optimus, Anduril, palantir, lambas, mithril… Every childhood memory tainted by evil businessmen
in the oligarchs dialect it translates to “eliminate the poor not useful for slave labour”
It’s totally achievable; he just glossed over the part where most of the world’s population is wiped out by global warming and the only people who survive are Elon and those he deems worthy.
