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.
I will gladly be “eliminated” then be a slave for this bastard and his 1% friends.
Elon wants to eliminate poverty but thinks poverty are the poor. He wants to get rid of the poor and his robot army is going to remove everyone who he has made poor.
The cost of such a luxury will never approach zero
With his money, he could eliminate poverty right now. Why wait?
Bruh still hasn’t delivered on self driving.
Next year! Just you wait and see!!
Finally! That’s great news! Can’t believe we’re only 1 year away after all these other 1 years.
Ooh you poor summer child… 😂
Might wanna read that again lol
I was being very sarcastic
I was too :p
What, like the Tories did? /s
One of you is using the monkey’s paw again, aren’t you?
By “eliminate poverty” he means killing all the poor people with his robot army.
In 17 years time… ooooh, eliminate the POOR!! yeah, that makes more sense
It’s going to kill them, isn’t it?
And grind them up to make Soylent Green.
Mmmm. Soylent Green 🤤
No he won’t.
The best thing he could do for the world would be to take up a fentanyl hobby.
Dearest Luigi, I don’t have the strength to do what is necessary. Grant me the power to do what needs to be done.
Will he use his new trillion dollars for betterment of humankind?
He’s not getting $1T, no matter what.
And then Optimus will come around to your house, and it will give everyone free ice cream. Whatever flavor you like! Then Optimus will save all the sick animals and make them better, and fix the ozone layer, and stop crime. Optimus is going to cure cancer, and eliminate traffic jams, and make me the most popular man in the world. A true communist utopia.
It will even fuck your wives and implant a seed directly from Musk’s personal Tesla sperm dispenser.
Fuck this nazi piece of shit.
