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.

    Lol your whole stupid premis was based on me claiming that he is a genius, and I never once called him that once!! ROFL you, like so many, are so triggered by Elon Musk.

    I did call him brilliant, and i think that is true. Im not going to go through the details and everything trying to convince you he has accomplished things that others werent able to. I know what it is like to own 1 business, but not multiple on different fields. I cant talk to you idiots as nymore… im done… God bless us.

      Please dive into details! Awareness of, and the will to take them in, are signs of intelligent life.

      So you can’t explain or define what genius is, yet judge anyone as an idiot who asks for that context?

      Genius and brilliant are synonyms btw. Something pretty obvious.

      So unless you want to explain the difference between those two terms, they mean the same thing.

      Being pedantic about that doesn’t make you right. It very much implies the opposite. You just look like someone that ate billionaire PR bait, and forgot what reality tastes like.

      You are not saving face by refusing to go into the details, you just look like you don’t know what you’re talking about.

      Something you could easily disprove if you did. Because Geniuses can go into those details. Idiots can only pretend.

      So makes sense why you look up to Musk so much. You can only pretend to be smart like him.
