Elon Musk argues AI-driven abundance will eventually make money irrelevant, but betting your financial future on that vision today assumes a smooth transition that history suggests is anything but guaranteed.
Going back to Elon's "birthright" instead of checks, how would this even work out? It almost seems like what he wants is from the movie In Time. In the movie, people work to receive minutes or hours to their life instead of money because the cost of everything is paid by the minutes or hours you own. Seems like what he is implementing is far from stretched. Also, if everything is given to everybody because of their birthright, would this mean that everyone around the world would be equal? The other thing is how would this work in 3rd world countries or is this what he predicts for America? If so, if a country doesn't go with this idea, how would we pay to visit that country and for expenditures? I don't have much in my retirement at the moment, but after reading this article, it makes me feel like it's going to be for nothing. I am also in school about to graduate for my Cybersecurity degree. I did this so that I could make more money and make sure that when I retire, I have a nest egg that I could survive on.
