Elon Musk’s Most Ludicrous Lie
The Art of Value host JJ breaks down and responds to another of Elon Musk’s most ludicrous claims. As tech news site Futurism points out, Elon is claiming that there will be a tech utopia with billions of humanoid robots, built and sold by Tesla of course, in which we humans will no longer have to work at all, and will get paid a universal high income from governments. This idea is not new though, and stems from early 20th century futurism.Related episodes:Tesla Robotaxi Fail & Waymo Wins First Driverless NYC Permit https://youtu.be/NPISQOPsnGQElon’s Tesla Self-Driving Lies Are Catching Up To Him: Forbes https://youtu.be/4Pj8RYRz0KkAltman's AI BUBBLE WARNING vs Marks' Stock Market Bubble View https://youtu.be/NKw04UIarkkIs the Internet Dying?
