Elon Musk says at a conference that universal basic income will be necessary.

Of course it will be. All jobs will eventually become automated, so either the capitalist lets us die or gives us money.

>mfw I haven't worked a single minute in my life
>mfw I don't even have to
The neet wins again
>mfw NEETs were just ahead of the times
it will never succeed. the wageslaves left will not put up with everyone but them getting free income. they will rise up and either kill the NEETs or implement socialism and force them to work. and if it doesn't get implemented in the first place, the unemployed workers will start a revolution anyway. so in other words, full socialism is inevitable. porky will get BTFO.

The people who work will make more money. Also there are people who like to work, they can't even stay retired.
>>34967190
How are they going to force them to work if there is no work to be done?
>>34967190
>force them to work.
doing what? robots will do everything better, so if you're so desperate you need human labor that means you're just some poor country wating to get btfo.
>>34966975
For being the smartest man in the world, he's not entirely well spoken...atleast not in this video.
>>34967190
The only reason people are calling it an inevitability is because the majority of workers will be replaced. There is no way to quell something like that.
And the appeal to the UBI is that you can still work and market your skills to increase your income.
>>34967190
Universal basic income is universal you dingus.
>>34967305
he's real fuckin awkward
>>34967305
Some smart people are really scatter brained I think
>>34967305
He has some speech impediment (or just general autism). he always stutters.
>>34966975
>universal basic income
So, does that mean even this rich asshole will be getting gibsmedats?
>>34966975
this is why i love 4chan. i hope they fucking redpill the entire planet and the U.S. destroys all other cultures through military force
hurry the fuck up people

>>34967410
s-so....I'm smart? T-there's hope for me?
>with everything automated, everything is going to be cheap
>there will be a surplus/abundance of goods being made by robots
Do people see the issue in this? What happens when we start running out of resources? Shit like oil and fresh water.
Metals and maybe even trees if we continue at this rate.
>>34967320
Where exactly do you think the money comes from? It's universal in that it goes to everyone, but it still only comes from people who work.
this is a guy who thinks a thin metal tube hundreds of miles long kept at a near total vacuum with vehicles designed by college students moving faster than sound is a feasible future mode of transportation. while in some ways he is brilliant, he is a delusional narcissist whose overly grandiose statements should be taken with a mountain of salt
>>34967582
You're beginning to sound a little like a dirty pinko liberal there, friend.
>>34967621
>factory owner with fleet of industrial machines
>worker
>>34967582
Well that'll happen regardless, with or without automation. I suppose automation can speed it up, but no matter what we do (or don't); earth's natural resources will eventually deplete, and most of them in our lifetime.
>>34967627
shut the fuck up u ugly annoying attention whore

>he doesn't believe the bogbots are going to transmute lead into fresh water and oil without any significant energy loss
what a dumbass backwards-thinking redneck
>>34967505
>hope
im sorry you still cling to this illusion
and being smart doesnt mean anything, its beyond STUPID common to have a genuinely talented and smart person to have a bottom feeder accoplish nothing life
a very large % of people with a childhood 150+ iq dont do anything with it
>>34967621
by taxing the robots

Aren't you the faggot that loves trains?

>vacuum
>sound
There is no sound in vacuum, tard.
>>34967582
In a cutthroat capitalist system, there is a bigger push to overuse our resources. If you have natural gas deposits behind your house and the only way to feed your family is to rip up the forest and extract it, you will probably say screw the environment and get the gas out. If you are guaranteed a UBI however, you might decide the forest is worth more than a marginal increase in your standard of living, and you might keep it.

That dude is so smart that he he willed his hair back into existence.
>>34968198
He also had a nose job

The speed of sound in air is 343m/s, a measurable constant that we to describe how fast something moves. If a spaceship was going 1000 m/s, it is going about 3 times the speed of sound, even though it is in a vacuum and sound can't travel in a vacuum.
>>34968127
I meant the speed sound travels in our atmosphere, you turbo autist
>>34968048
yep, I shoved my Big Boy into your mum's locomotive shed last night
>>34967919
am I wrong though? the guy is clearly unhinged
>>34967032
They can't just let us die 'cause nobody's there to buy their shit then
>>34966975
He's such a fucking aspie, the way he studders avoiding eye contact.
He's pretty much a robot who made it in life and had plastic surgery to make himself look better.
>>34966975
You realize that a universal basic income would be viable right now if we didn't have a small number of people hoarding an immense amount of wealth, right?
He says it will be "necessary", what he means by this is that it's necessary so that we don't get immense economic inequality. Are the elites going to like this? And it's already happening in many parts of the world, just not so extreme. I think it's much more likely that we just end up with a fuckton of homeless people.

Who is the dumbass here?
>>34968570
How will even the economy work if most jobs are taken by robots? I mean where will business owners their money from if most people don't even have job to get money to buy stuff.
>>34967142
>mfw same as u
>mfw wrote a book and completely changed the life of at least one person (their own words)
>mfw slaves who spend their lives shoveling shit into furnace or something will cry about their life lacking meaning when they dont have to slave anymore
>mfw UBI will never EVER happen in our lifetimes and we will have to become slaves too, sooner or later
I want off this ride senpai
>>34968689
We get more robots in to replace business owners and we replace the economy with robots too
>>34968689
They won't need an economy. They will just use robots to produce for themselves.
