Elon Musk Says AI and Robotics Will Make Money 'Irrelevant'.

Interesting comment from someone that just demanded a trillion dollars, supposedly to get to a world with 'irrelevant' money.

Good, then the wanker can give up his to feed the hungry. Job done.....

Then why does he need a $1T pay package?

I got a contact high just reading this article

right! totally optional after the first trillion dollars

This guy is a fu———joke. He doesn’t even believe his own shit but he knows sheeple will believe it

It probably will. Once that happens the billionaires will not need us workers anymore. We will be eliminated and the world will be a handful of the rich who own all of the robots and AI.

If that’s the case he should just give everything away for free

So TSLA stock price is irrelevant? Let it go to $45.

"I have enough money, nobody needs anymore"

Then why is dying to get bigger pay checks. Elon math is not mathing

Relevant only for the greedy rich

Elmo says a lotta dumb shit

I remember that Harvard study where they found that after $80k you don’t actually get any happier…or was it a thousand billion dollars??? Ohh well at least I can afford that $30k tesla they’ve been promising for 8 years….whats that? They only make $20k robots now and they can only load my dishwasher for me? I don’t have a dishwasher. I’m sure it’ll all be ok. Thanks for the high speed hyperloop transport system Elon.

Yeah ok. Lol

any day now. right around the corner.

Man who fought tooth and nail for a trillion dollar pay package says what?

That’s so he can control the robot army.

Then he should give his away

Well... He left out the other part. That it will make you irrelevant too. There's no assumption that you need to live as far as he's concerned. It can just be him and his robots and a few other billionaires and that's good enough for him. People keep assuming that Elon has a plan for "society" in his vision of the future. He does not.

It's like a 600-pound man preaching the virtues of fasting.

Then why does he need a trillion dollars

Literally this. Half of my extended family are the country club wealthy types. I've been to Mar-a-Lago and plenty of the east coast country clubs many years ago. If you could hear how they talk about the poor you'd be disgusted. I have a distain for that side of my family and no longer associate with them. They look at the working people as lowly outsiders that exist only to do the menial labor needed to keep them in luxury. If they could replace you with a robot they would in a heartbeat. They don't give one shit about your hardships or suffering. They're despicable. I guarantee none of them have any plan at all to ensure we all go on living. At the moment we're just a necessary means to an end for them.

He has a plan, serve him or die.

Then why does he need more money?

Asimov predicted this in the 1960’s.

The thing which escaped them is they to become irrelevant. Kind of like playing sim city and just letting the game run long after you gave up interest. The whole thing could be automated and no need for humans at any part of the system including the very top.

Just in case.

AI has made his penis irrelevant. Artificial Insemination.

Is he back on the whacky stuff?

They sure are hoarding a lot of this irrelevant thing....

Someone needs to change Elon's face diaper, he's full of shit again.

Are you talking a pure socialist ideal, where everyone’s needs are taken care of equally by a central government, but in this case by an AI/robot government? Sure, I’m in. But have you thought through what that means for rich folk like you?

He says a lot of stuff.

One side has all the money, the other side (majority) has no money

Build robots to replace humans to do what for whom to buy? If there is no consumer there is nothing to build or replace. The world is broken

Then why tf is he trying to become the world's first trillionaire?? He's a lying scumbag, that's why.

Musk is such a moron. He demands to be the riches man in the world and says money isn't important. He claims money will be spread out, while saying that HE should get more and more, and none of it should go to anyone else. "Everyone will have money!" can't be true when his actions say "the money should ALL be in the hands of just a few people."

Money will become irrelevant as no one will have any in his future view.

This guy is on drugs all the time!

Until they figure out the power/battery problems don't bet on it and don't bet on any Elon robot related stocks.

Yeah, they eliminate people and now the masters are finally back to owning slaves. We see you nazi Elon...

He just means because no one else will have any.

I’m not even mad at him anymore. I’m mad at anyone who is still falling for this con.

He expects you to believe that the people who own all these companies that replace all the workers will just give it away for nothing. The same people who can’t stomach single payer healthcare and cut food stamps. They’ll just give it to you for free. Trust me bro.

Wow 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Read between the lines. His hoping his gain from these tech will finally make money irrelevant for him

I don’t know how that logic will raise the stock price but I am pretty sure it will.

This does seem to be the agenda and I’m glad it’s not only me that thinks this is where things are heading, at least in the US.

Is Elon a communist?

Cool, give yours away

So... communism?

His money is irrelevant because it actually doesn’t even exist, and it never actually will

Then why is he so desperate to keep hoarding it?

This is the first thing he's said in a while that made me wonder. He's literally the worst. But money.... money is just a medium for exchange. And MOST of what is exchanged is labor. And people who are sitting on a pile of money have either saved up their own labor, or exploited the labor of others, to use later. If AI and robots essentially make labor worthless...then why would anyone respect the saved up labor from decades past as having value in the future? of course, he is also the worst, so he might mean that in a post-scarcity world where no one really has to work, the only thing that will matter is control of the remaining scarce resources, land, water, etc, and that will be accomplished with sheer power, violence, etc. Becasue, you know, he's the worst.

I think we’ll end up with something closer to Philip K Dick’s *The Penultimate Truth.*

And at that point, the world will become stale. The populations will dwindle to a few thousand, each of which will seek to protect themselves and fear anything that could harm them. Being immortal makes one afraid to live, because if one can live forever, and yet still be wounded, why take the chance? This reminds me of an episode from the Canadian sci-fi show, Lexx. Brigadoom. [Lexx — S02E18 — Brigadoom](https://youtu.be/_n7iIYhjiSQ?t=496) eta. Just starting watching the clip again (it's been years since I've watched) and the 'building a great, defensive shield around their planet'... um, 'golden dome' anyone? Life imitating art at this point.

This guy gets all his „Visions“ from Science Fiction it seems.

True - I might add that money is literally all he has.

This is all to piss off Trump, I bet.

I wish he'd become irrelevant

The con man speak!

I'd like to see Elon become irrelevant

This is Elon's plan. https://tenor.com/bd9ho.gif

... which is why he held Tesla hostage for a Trillion dollars.

Headline should read "Worlds richest snake oil salesman says more bullshit"

Right. Once jobs become irrelevant I'm sure he'll start with the handouts to support people

idk he's such a stupid vain narcissist that was bullied his whole life since he's the bad kind of nerd, and now has low self esteem and something to prove, so I genuinely think he wants there to be "the masses" for him to be idolized by to get his validation

This would be more believable if my self driving car could actually self drive by now.

If money is no longer relevant then Musk would not be relevant.

Musk became the richest man in the world, and want to be the first trillionare, and somehow he can say with a straight face it's not about money, and money doesn't matter.

irrelevant for those who have it

Robot run AI data centres on the Moon will make money irrelevant.

Gotta pump up the bubble big man 😂

I've always said that money is the root of all evil and we should move away from it but Elon is the last person I'd trust with this.

Can I eat money? Can I drink money? If I put money in the light socket, will the lights work?

yes

A man for whom money is irrelevant thinks he is going to make money irrelevant. The rich are so rich now the detachment from reality is not even amusing any more. I think the point was when that rich idiot put the flower in the gun for pepsi.

Money will be irrelevant because he has all of it.

Money is already irrelevant on Mars Elon. Go there it will make all your dreams come true.

As if the rich would ever allow for money to become irrelevant and ai robots won´t do that anyway. Humanoid robots are just made to look fancy. They are so stupid constructions, just looking futuristic to fool people.

[deleted]

That idiot probably believes it. He is totally removed from the shared realities of 99.9% of people.

When is Elon gonna stop with the stupid ? Elon = 🤡

He really really wants to spread the light of consciousness to Mars, he'll need a trillion because it's expensive when you continuously blow up rockets

If that were true he wouldnt be jacking his shareholders off for a trillion dollar payday ffs.

That's certainly their intention but it's born from ignorance about how humans work. For all the world's issues, people are generally safe, fed, and entertained. If they truly try to take any of that away they're fucked. People will find a way to get those things anyway. They envision societal collapse as a bunch of poor people quietly dying invisibly, not a few billion hungry angry bipedals in survival mode. The world doesn't operate under the controlled simplicity they've deluded themselves into believing.

...and people.

Yeah, at what point does the billionaire exploitation of the poor’s labor magically trickle down into wealth for everyone?  Cuz this fantasy he’s shilling has more holes than his self-made origin story

Prove it, give it all away...

Elon said we’d be living on Mars and FSD will be fully operational in 2018, so…..

You would think he would be more like the Ben & Jerry guys. But in all seriousness I have been trying to buy things as much as possible from B-Corps. Everyone should educate themselves on [what B-Corps are](https://www.bcorporation.net/en-us/movement/) and where their money goes. [You can look up companies to see if they are B-Corps. ](https://www.bcorporation.net/en-us/find-a-b-corp/)

To be fair, if I had a trillion dollars I would think money was irrelevant.

So is he pro communism now or just says whatever pops into his empty head

Arrrgah CHAINSAW argalbargal

Hahahahahahahahahaha just as clueless as ever. Pipe dreams like most of his ideas and suggestions are.

"Anyone can have any products or services that they want."... Sounds ok, I guess... "But there will be a lot of trauma and disruption along the way." Ah, there it is.

Moron.

He thinks that everyone is NPCs

Nice. So I don't need to pay my mortage or bills now? /s

Then, Mr Musk, why don't you give all your billions to the folks who need them most while the money is still relevant?

Oh the fantastical thoughts ketamine induces

Money will only become irrelevant when there isnt a single product that everyone who desires can access. I think he’s right as long as we progress technologically and do not become extinct or totally depraved. This is a long way off if we make it.

Elon Musk is a liar and manipulator.

That must be why he asked for so much of it

"It's not about the money" /puke

Then I guess it’s weird he fought so hard for his $1 Trillion dollar package.

I mean, if you have 400 billion it's probably already irrelevant.

cool Elon, let's see you give your money away then dipshit

If money will be irrelevant, why does he want to be a trillionaire?

Hopefully it makes CEOs irrelevant

Says the billionaire with a billion dollar bonus package.

The political power and influence it brings him, including the ability to shape government policy and action and impact society, however, is very real.

Indeed, the biggest crime against humanity was enclosure of the commons, when the land (that people need to live on and from) was able to be 'owned' by individuals, rather than being communal property all could use. This was one of the big key shifts that lead to growing inequality and hierarchies of power, because he who could enclose and own the land (required to provide the food and shelter people need), could then amass power and authority over those who could not. Not to be too simplistic about it, but we could begin addressing many of the inequalities and injustices in modern economics and society if we moved back toward the concept of the land (and its resources) being a 'commons' that everyone is entitled to, rather than being a thing the masses need to 'rent' from made up 'owners.'

I don't think he has thought through the logical consequences of his, and the other billionaire's wet dreams. These guys are so high on their own supply they seem to think they constitute a natural ruling elite through their own sheer genius, rather than it being a result of the power afforded to them through an arbitrary and unjust economic system.

A world with no money, a certain race worse nightmare

That's what the AI is for. It'll select and filter those that have a positive view of Musk, or can be further brainwashed through some AI shared delusions. The rest that don't worship him will become biomass.

How any fools can support this psycho and drive a Tesla is beyond me. Society is so fucked.

When we are all slaves. Money is irrelevant for sure.

Trillion

I am sure that once you’re a multi-billionaire, that money really does seem to be rather irrelevant. The vast majority of people are not in that situation though, and money is one of the big things that dominates their lives. It’s highly relevant to everyday folk, and so AI and Robotics is a big worry when it comes to job displacement. Do billionaires who manage to make savings by using robotics and AI instead of staff, put equal effort into helping those made redundant find new jobs and pay for new training ? ( No, I thought not… They just wash their hands and walk away ) Are the Billionaires going to be paying enough tax to fund everyone with UBI instead ? Will robot workers in effect be taxed ?

i think most of us would reach that conclusion at a much lower number. i recall there was a website some years back that challenged you to spend a trillion USD by choosing things to buy like planes, sports teams etc. i came up well short of $1T

In that case, anyone investing in tesla thinking sillyboy's gimmicks will give them a return, ought rethink.

“Salary is irrelevant since we will eliminate the need for the working class”

I have a trillion dollars, so money is irrelevant. Said one person.

And that’s will be Grok’s mission someday.

He's certainly an expert in being irrelevant.

Then Why Elon, the moron, is getting $1 Trillion dollar package if money is irrelevant. This fascist is trying to make a case for his robotic investment.

Who would ever think space Odyssey 2001 would actually be a template rather than a cautiononary tale.

Dude talks shit.

“I won’t work for Tesla unless they pay me $1 trillion” — also Elon Musk

Well one way to make money irrelevant is to make sure that Elon has all of it
