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.
Optimus will finally make it possible for us (the 1%) to eliminate poverty for 2 reasons: First because we don’t need the poor anymore for manual labor, and second because with Optimus we can automate their extermination.
That’s the only way the 1% could eliminate poverty. If it were at all possible.
Yes, it will definitely not be the 1% that eliminate poverty, but when a majority decides to do so.
They won’t necessarily kill or exterminate us. They’ll just let us die.
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
Dearest Luigi, I don’t have the strength to do what is necessary. Grant me the power to do what needs to be done.
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.
One of you is using the monkey’s paw again, aren’t you?
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 🤤
Fuck this nazi piece of shit.
The best thing he could do for the world would be to take up a fentanyl hobby.
He’s in such a hurry to create The Culture that he doesn’t even realize it’s a -left- wing utopia.
By “eliminate poverty” he means killing all the poor people with his robot army.
Will he use his new trillion dollars for betterment of humankind?
He’s not getting $1T, no matter what.
With his money, he could eliminate poverty right now. Why wait?
Il wait until he follows through on even one of his grandiose promises.
The cost of such a luxury will never approach zero
No he won’t.
