If that is true, then why demand obscene payment packages?

It’s possible, but not with jackasses like Elon in charge.

"Societal and technological advancements need to go hand in hand"
- Kelly from The Orville
I think computers are a good [current] example of when tech got ahead of society. Especially the Internet but moreso the ability to make complex systems that don’t require as much direct human interaction.

“It’s much harder to grow vegetables in your backyard, but some people still do it because they like growing vegetables,” Musk added.
Ladies and gentlemen, the world’s richest man.

Having a backyard or any space to grow plants is a privilege many don't have, besides the fact that vegetables don't like extreme climates

That is so right up there with some of the scummiest things CEOs have ever said.
The Heinz CEO tells us to "get used to it" about inflation.
And then Nestle over there, saying about how water is not a human right.
These rich fuckheads totally operate on a different world than our own.

Excellent. I’ll text you my IBAN so you can transfer me some of your irrelevant money.

That's only because money is already irrelevant to him.

This guy was going to put a man on Mars by 2015 and make the hyperloop the next big thing; with the latter, he prevented investment in trains in the USA. After hearing this, I can only recommend that you join a union; you’re going to need it.

People have been talking about “post scarcity” since forever.
Yes, in the far distant future people will be able to have things they need and not have to work. AI will also exist in that future.
However, I don’t think anyone believes that future will arrive in the next decade.

The future is already here. It’s just unevenly distributed.

The issue is that, UBI is a contested subject. It is the answer to what's happening with automation.
And nobody is touching it but lets continue giving these few people all the money in the world and little leftover for everyone to fight over.

Fuck that guy for saying that. Just asked for 1trillion dollars at Tesla, and now he wants to sell you a dream that money is irrelevant.
Money is his only power. No way.

If money is going to be irrelevant, then he should give his all away right now. Get ahead of that curve.

We need a New New Deal to get anywhere near that. First we’re going to experience mass unemployment for about a year. Then after people have been severely pissed off with no opportunities for a couple months, then things will actually start changing.

He probably means for anyone with at least 100 million in wealth. Everyone else just doesn’t matter.

Nobody with all the money is going to willingly make money irrelevant, unless they can preserve their power in some other fashion.
