Do it coward, bet you won't

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.

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.

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

"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.

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

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

You know what would end poverty? A trillion dollars

M'eh at this point we can assume his bots are to carry out mass extinctions. Not to say the g word.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

This guy couldn't even get autonomous vehicles to work properly. No reason to believe he has the skills to do any of this beyond the fact that we know his morals are fucked up.

No wonder Musk was bullied as a kid.

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.

... and liars lie.

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

I’d be surprised if the build one working robot in the next ten years

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.

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

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.

Dude read the Culture series, took all the wrong lessons from it and is speedrunning that horrible vision for a sorcery in his own mind.

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...

Nazi not see

Biggest problem with that first premise is that the services and materiel goods created by these robots is still going to cost the end user and since those end users aren't working and earning money to pay those fees, the only outcome for that is a population starved and homeless while the elites of the world reap the rewards of that system
