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.

Quite a claim from the guy who labeled things “Full self driving” and “Autopilot”. 🙄

Can someone ask him to clarify what he mean by "eliminate poverty"?

Because there are a couple of way to do that which I'm not too found to.

Elon, this isn't 2014. Only your die hard fans believe you.

You know what would end poverty? A trillion dollars

By "eliminate poverty" he means let robots do all the jobs the poors do and let the poors die.

Is this the guy that did a Nazi salute at your President's inauguration?

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.

This is astonishing.

He's hoarding the profits of automation for himself, while socializing the lost wages and poverty that will come from this.

But the issue is that we know full well that they'll escape paying out their massive profits as taxes, which is what MUST happen for the model to work. Shareholder payouts need to be taxed at like 50+% rate or even more.

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.

They aren't going to provide for people's basic needs after the robots take their jobs. They're going to keep the excess productivity for themselves. Just as they've always done. The only way that changes is by force, and by the time people get desperate enough for that they'll have an army of robots at their disposal. We need to tackle that capitalist problem before we get to the point automation taking all the jobs.

Elon's bullshit isn't going to be that point though.

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.

Musk also said that Optimus would change life for incarcerated people at the meeting. Instead of physically jailing prisoners, Optimus could "follow you around and stop you from doing crime," he said.

JFC, I can't believe he actually said that out loud...

"AI and robots will replace all jobs," he wrote. "Working will be optional, like growing your own vegetables, instead of buying them from the store."

Great. Who is going to pay you to grow vegetables? Can you pay rent and medical bills with vegetables?

Also fuck Business Insider and every other website that provides zero sources and exclusively links back to their own fucking site.

Doing some research, he said basically we will need UBI. As if that's even remotely possible or that the world's first trillionaire would ever support it...

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.

So his robots will eliminate the poor?

Perhaps he should get Full Self Driving to work first... 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I'm not even going to look up what "Optimus" is. I don't waste time on this clown anymore.

in the oligarchs dialect it translates to “eliminate the poor not useful for slave labour”

He sounds quite deranged. Maybe he needs a timeout in a sift padded room. Without internet.

I too hope and dream for Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism; however, to achieve such lofty goals would require challenging the status quo and "The System" is built, and depends entirely on that not changing. So yeah, I doubt we'll achieve that anytime soon or at all seeing how well we're protecting the climate... IMO we'll all be ~~living in a dystopian Mad Max-like world~~ dead.

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.

He probably means it'll feed the poor into a wood chipper.

Can the rich should stop running all the cool stuff, please? Optimus, Anduril, palantir, lambas, mithril... Every childhood memory tainted by evil businessmen

Lets imagine things go just as he wants and we have army of robots doing all the work and such. Robots who he controls. All over the world, most likely, if they are really useful. People would start to depend on them more and more. Imagine if someone could turn off your every convenicence, or your entire country at a whim?

These people already have all the money in the world, yet they will never be satisfied. What is even left for them except complete domination of all of us?

He also said in his shareholder speech that Optimus would replace the penal system by following offenders around to prevent them committing crimes. He's a fucking moron who's been able to get away with making up complete bullshit to pump Tesla's stock price for years and for some reason people STILL treat him with credulity.

"Instead of physically jailing prisoners, Optimus could "follow you around and stop you from doing crime," he said

This is going to last all of 30 seconds as that is the amount of time it'll take for a criminal to hop a cyclone fence and take off never to be seen again. Or we can have the 10 minute scenario where criminal and friends take sledgehammers to the thing and sell it for scrap.

Come on, nobody is going to eliminate poverty. That's not on the agenda.

Plus we don't even have a road how to make robots that could make other robots.

There are established methods of eliminating poverty. They are decried by the right-wing as bad.

Just look at why there are so few homeless and incarcerated people in the most developed European nations... they must be doing something right.

I’m not sure if this kind of thing is just about enriching himself. Of course that’s a big part of it. But he also wants to be a great man of history. He wants to be the person who saves the world. He wants to be forever remembered as the greatest hero who ever lived.

He won’t, of course. Because he’s a clueless idiot. A clueless idiot who managed to fuck up his own PR so hard that he’s burnt away the reputation as a genius that he used to have.

But he really does want to be adored.

Fuck him and his hair plugs!!!! They probably have more intelligence than his damn brain!!

Just proves, suck enough dicks and give enough money get what you want!

America is so fucked under Drumpf the generational of illegals and the war dodgers who marry immigrants but keep deporting US citizens…

FUCK THE DRUMPF FAMILY!!!

This worthless nazi scum and his company can fuck off.
