@liz_churchill10 He deserves to be arrested though. Freedom of speech does not mean you can spew hate and face no consequences.

Elon Musk was asked what happens to people when the machines no longer need them.
He didn’t soften it.
Musk: “There will be fewer and fewer jobs that a robot cannot do better. These are not things I wish would happen. They probably will.”
Sit with that second sentence.
He is not celebrating. He is not selling a vision. He is telling you what he believes is inevitable and admitting he wishes it weren’t.
That is not optimism. That is a confession.
Most people are still arguing over whether this is real. Whether it’s their job or someone else’s. Whether the timeline is years away or decades.
Musk isn’t arguing.
He resolved it. And it bothers him.
Musk: “I think ultimately we will have to have some kind of universal basic income. I don’t think we’re going to have a choice.”
Not a political position. Not a utopian proposal.
A concession.
We are building something so capable that human labor stops being a required input to the economy. The machine does not need rest. It does not need a salary. It does not call in sick. It does not ask for a raise.
And it improves every single month.
The jobs that feel safe right now are not safe because they are irreplaceable. They feel safe because the technology hasn’t fully arrived yet.
It’s arriving.
Musk: “How do people then have meaning? If there’s not a need for your labor, what’s the meaning? Do you feel useless?”
He said that is the harder problem.
Not the economics. Not the policy. Not how you fund UBI or make it hold.
The harder problem is what happens to a person who built their entire identity around being needed.
That is most people.
You were trained from childhood to believe your value is what you produce. That your worth is what you earn. That rest is something you survive the week to reach, not something you deserve simply by existing.
When the machine removes the need for your labor, that belief does not update.
It breaks.
The people least prepared for that moment are the ones who worked the hardest. The ones who took the most pride in being indispensable. The ones who made work the whole answer.
Losing the job is survivable.
Losing the reason to get up is not.
That is what Musk is actually asking. Not how do we pay people. How do we build a world where people still feel like they matter when the economy no longer needs them.
Nobody in power is seriously working on that answer.
The machine didn’t wait.

Shes out on licence, which forbids this criminal from meeting up with someone they met in prison. Just saying. Would be a shame if she was thrown back in jail 🤷🏻♂️

Right, I’m off to Hertfordshire to help out a young girl in need that I met in prison. Because god forbid people actually get the support they need from the state. She’s a vulnerable young girl with a baby, not long released from prison. Thrown to the bottom of the pile. I’m sure if she had come in on a small boat illegally she would be getting everything she needs right now!!!!
