@Unseen_Trash @LPMisesCaucus @elonmusk @UBERSOY1 Nice caveman logic there. "Liberals support something?!? Something must be bad! Me no like!"

@LPMisesCaucus @elonmusk @UBERSOY1 retard, the ones who proposed, the ones who are pushing for UBI are the liberals

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

@Zlacher88 @GaryHalpin23 @LPMisesCaucus @elonmusk @UBERSOY1 Problem is, scarcity isn't going away for everything. Land will still be in very finite, limited supply. And land is where the minerals reside that are the inputs to all of those goods. The cost of goods can't approach 0 if the input costs to make them are much greater than 0.

@GaryHalpin23 @LPMisesCaucus @elonmusk @UBERSOY1 Yes, and scarcity will be near 0. That's just a fact. The question is how do we deal with the transition and what does that world look like?

@RavenousGhoulNH @MattWalshBlog Oh, that's it? Only 20 of our military are dead? You sound like Lindsey Graham. Maybe you'd feel a little different if it was you or your kids being ordered to donate your lives to the cause.

Some of us expressed great concern about the Iran War when it was first launched. We were shouted down and condemned as “panicans” and “blackpillers” and even Islamist sympathizers. But it’s pretty clear from how things have gone that our concerns were absolutely reasonable and legitimate. Maybe Trump will get us out of this thing soon and it still won’t spiral into a long and drawn out war. But even if that happens — and I’m not convinced it will — no thoughtful person can deny at this point that the spiral and long war scenario is very much a possibility. No reasonable person, at this stage, can say that our concerns were irrational. What looks irrational now — and always did — is the demand for blind allegiance and unthinking “trust” in our elected leaders, as though we are called to have faith in politicians like we have faith in God.

@elonmusk @AmandaAskell The real challenge that will determine the future of the human race is how to incentivize the best and brightest among us to have more children (in other words, produce the reverse of Idiocracy)

@AmandaAskell Children are what really matter

Perhaps I should get married again so that the media has a more recent man they can reference any time they mention me or my work.

@catturd2 @RepThomasMassie Let's translate: Dig up one of thousands of donations to your political enemy, a tiny donation in the grand scheme of things, that just happens to be from a questionable source, then use it as a red herring to distract & discredit all of their arguments and stances. Classic.

@RepThomasMassie This tweet was paid for by Massie’s 7K mullahs.

The price of gas has gone up $0.47 and the price of diesel has gone up $0.83 in 10 days due to War with Iran. and waging war costs American taxpayers about $1 billion per day, which comes out to $10 per family per day, or $100 since the war began. This isn’t America First.

@elonmusk @IterIntellectus @elonmusk This is a very rare L take from you. Just ask Grok how credible these claims are based on all evidence, and you'll see they are incredibly weak. And I say that as someone who's read every one of your posts for over half a decade and agreed with something like 99.9%.

@IterIntellectus 💯

when you look into them, SSRIs are truly insane and it's baffling that they are even legal knowing how bad they are every person responsible for pushing these on millions of people without any reason other than making money should be in jail

@SawyerMerritt Also, it's foolish to think that just because a majority of trips are 1-2 passengers, people will be happy with a car that can -only- support 2 passengers. Having the capacity to carry more passengers if they need it is a significant factor when people buy a car.

The Cybercab has two seats because ~85% of car trips in North America have just one or two people. For the remaining 15% of trips that have more than two people, you'll be able to hail a Model Y robotaxi, or even a couple of them.

@SawyerMerritt That's a dumb proposition. You talk like the population is homegeneous & 15% of trips with more than 2 people are just rarities to be worked around. Ever heard of kids? Every single daily trip has 2+ passengers. No way we're going to hail a robotaxi & haul heavy car seats daily.

@positive_jetson @financedystop The money they receive in social security benefits is also far less than what they contributed.

@financedystop You max out SS right around 164k -170k so that means people who make 1 million pay the same as someone makes less than 200k kinda ironic

@C_3C_3 This data needs to be normalized before conclusions can be drawn. The availability of mail in ballots has increased a lot over the years as more states have allowed their residents to request them. That could very well explain the growth without significant levels of fraud.

Mail in ballots for the 6 POTUS elections: 2004: 15 million 2008: 23 million 2012: 27 million 2016: 33 million 2020: 70 million 2024: 49 million Anything stand out to you? Insane. Mail in ballots should only be for disabled and military. Make Election Day a national holiday.

@elonmusk This Grok bug is super annoying: when I hit the Grok button on a post then ask Grok questions, if I tilt my Android phone and it shifts from portrait to landscape or back, the entire screen refreshes and the entire chat resets, causing any discussions with Grok to reset.

Grok Imagine is improving super fast! What are the highest priority improvements you want? Please reply below.

@elonmusk @PeterDiamandis The best solution: the Fed continues its price stability mandate and does direct monetary injections into household bank accounts to offset AI driven deflation. It's the best solution that preserves capitalist market functions while passing along the benefits of AI to everyone!

@PeterDiamandis Just send money to all citizens from the US government magic money computers (actually). So long as the output of goods & services exceeds the money supply, which it will with AI robotics at scale, everything will be fine.

A PROPOSAL FOR UNIVERSAL HIGH INCOME (UHI): During my recent Moonshots podcast with @elonmusk, we dove into his notion of Universal High Income (UHI) – Elon’s proposal that an AI and Robotics will enable a world of sustainable abundance for all... a life beyond basic income, towards high income and standards of living. When I asked him how this might work, he said: “You know, this is my intuition but I don’t know how to do it. I welcome ideas.” That single statement has been ringing in my head ever since. Here’s why: the economics of scarcity are flipping to the economics of Abundance. I do believe that AI and humanoid robots can produce nearly anything we need—goods, services, healthcare, education—at costs approaching zero. But there’s a gap between that vision and getting there. How do we actually fund and distribute Abundance to everyone? Today, I’m excited to share one compelling answer. I’ve been talking to Daniel Schreiber, CEO of Lemonade (the AI-insurance company that just launched 50% off premiums for Tesla FSD drivers), about a framework called the MOSAIC Model: a concrete proposal for how governments could implement Universal High Income without raising taxes on workers or businesses. (See the components of MOSAIC in my P.S. below.) Here’s the core insight that makes the math work: 1/ THE AUTOMATION PARADOX: AI Unemployment ≠ Traditional Unemployment When most people hear “mass job displacement,” they picture economic collapse: bread lines, depression, social chaos. That’s because they’re thinking about traditional unemployment, where workers disappear and nothing replaces them. AI unemployment is fundamentally different. Think of it this way: imagine sending a digital twin to work in your place. It performs your tasks faster, cheaper, and better. The company’s output increases. GDP grows. The resources exist – they just need to be redistributed. This is the Automation Paradox: AI can raise productivity while displacing labor. When workers are replaced by more productive capital, GDP rises even as fewer humans work. The challenge is not affordability. It’s capture and distribution. 2/ “AI DIVIDEND”: Where the Money Actually Comes From Daniel’s framework identifies two places the AI surplus shows up, and how to capture it without disrupting consumers or raising statutory tax rates: Channel 1: Dynamic VAT (The Deflation Dividend) AI is deflationary. When AI cuts the cost of producing something by 30%, that value creation can either flow entirely to shareholders – or be partially recaptured for society. Dynamic VAT works like this: as AI drives quality-adjusted price declines in goods and services, the VAT rate adjusts upward by exactly enough to keep consumer prices stable. Consumers pay the same. But the government captures part of the deflation dividend. It’s frictionless redistribution. Prices don’t rise. No one feels it. Channel 2: Over-Trend Profit Ring-Fencing AI is generating windfall profits for companies at the frontier. Rather than raising corporate tax rates (which drives capital flight), the MOSAIC Model proposes ring-fencing only the above-trend portion of capital income tax receipts. Baseline profits? Untouched. Normal corporate taxes? Unchanged. But what about the incremental surge in profits attributable to AI? A portion gets earmarked for the “Universal High Income” fund. Statutory rates stay the same. Companies keep most of their windfall. But society captures enough to fund a universal floor. 3/ WHAT THIS MEANS FOR FAMILIES: Here’s where it gets real. Under the MOSAIC Model’s basic implementation (before any additional policy choices), a household with two non-working parents and two children would receive income equivalent to today’s fourth decile: roughly the 30-40th percentile of current household income. To be clear, that’s not survival-level subsistence. It’s lower-middle-class security. For doing nothing. This creates a Universal Basic Floor – funded entirely by the two low-friction channels above. But this is just the starting line, not the finish line. If society chooses to capture more of the AI dividend through additional mechanisms (windfall levies, land-value capture, AI-services taxation), the floor could rise to what Daniel calls the “the UHI Benchmark”: approximately 120% of median wages. Upper-middle-class income. Universal. The surplus exists. The question is: how much do we collectively choose to redistribute? 4/ WHY TIMING IS EVERYTHING: Here’s what keeps both Daniel and me up at night: the political window for implementing this is closing. The MOSAIC Model’s political economy analysis shows something counterintuitive: feasibility is highest early in the AI transition – before capital consolidates opposition, before tech incumbents organize billion-dollar lobbying efforts, before the status quo hardens. Wait until mass displacement is undeniable? By then, it may be too late to pass anything. Act early or not at all. A good system passed in 2026 beats a perfect system proposed in 2030 that fails. 5/ THE INVITATION: Elon said he welcomes ideas. This is one. The MOSAIC Model isn’t the only answer, but it’s a rigorous, economically grounded starting point. It demonstrates that Universal High Income is not utopian dreaming. It’s an engineering problem with identifiable solutions. The AI dividend is real. The fiscal math works. The question is whether we have the collective will to build the capture mechanisms before the window closes. The full MOSAIC Model is available today at mosaic.org.il/model for policymakers, economists, and fellow entrepreneurs to critique, improve, and implement. Read the full plan, verify the math, and let’s debate this. Because this is not a matter of any single country or company getting it right. It’s about humanity navigating the biggest economic transition in history. When AI takes our jobs, it should also pay our wages. Let’s make that happen. Peter Diamandis (in collaboration with Daniel Schreiber, @daschreiber, CEO of Lemonade and Chair of the MOSAIC AI Policy Institute) P.S. The detailed components of MOSAIC that make the model affordable: M – Multi-channel / Mechanism (Implied): The core philosophy that no single tax can fund UHI alone; it requires a “mosaic” of multiple bases. O – Over-trend Ring-fencing: Earmarking 85% of the “windfall” capital-income tax receipts (profits and capital gains) that exceed historical trends. S – Savings (Government Automation Dividend - GAD): capturing the cost savings from automating government bureaucracy (e.g., using AI for back-office admin). A – AI-linked Deflation (Captured via Dynamic VAT): The largest tile. As AI drives prices down, the VAT rate adjusts upward to capture the “deflation gap,” keeping prices stable for consumers while generating revenue. I – Income (Negative Income Tax): The distribution mechanism itself, ensuring work always pays. C – Consolidation: Rolling existing, overlapping welfare transfers into the new single payment to avoid double-spending. In short: The MOSAIC is the Fiscal Architecture. It argues that while one tax (like a “wealth tax”) is politically impossible or insufficient, a mosaic of VAT + Windfall Profits + Efficiency Savings + Legacy Consolidation creates a robust funding base for a poverty-ending income floor.

@ironimmigrant @farzyness Not true, companies are forced to lower their prices when costs drop due to competition. Other companies are hungry to steal market share and will happily do so if accompany refuses to pass significant chunk of its cost decreases down to customers.

@farzyness The fact is companies don’t reduce prices no matter how much cost goes down as long as everyone still needs it until a disrupter shows up that significantly threatens their existence. Tesla has the chance to be that disrupter.

FSD should collapse the cost of auto insurance. If injuries/deaths go down by 90%+, then the cost to insure should be WAY lower.

@shai_wininger @farzyness Why would this be a nightmare scenario for insurers? If accident costs go down, they can lower premiums while still collecting the same profit margin. In fact, if they lower their costs but delay rate decreases (driven by competition), this would actually juice their profits.

@farzyness True. This is a nightmare scenario for incumbent insurers (think of the topline hit), and it's exactly what we're designing for and counting on happening. Things are going to get interesting!
