This man is a genius at running businesses but he sucks at predicting the future.
What he says is that in 20 years, AI will do all jobs so people can do other things that they want to do.
How will they pay for sheet? The Government, through a universal income system.
But then, does everyone get paid the same? What about smart capable ones versus the lazy bums? All the same? Everyone drives a Lambo??
Musk forgets basic psychology about human emotions. We have greed, selfishness, envy. We are not happy with just having a good life, we want something better than what our neighbor has.
So this idea is dumb and will never happen regardless of how smart AI gets.
But he is a CEO after all, which is another name for "charlatan". He needs to float such ideas to get the morons and idiots in line while he gets rich himself.
That is why, Fellow Ags, become investors. We may hate on the evil corporations but we cannot beat them. If you can't beat em, join em. When they make money, you make money too. Why bother working?
Forget the four-day workweek, Elon Musk predicts you won't have to work at all in 'less than 20 years'

Amazing salesmanship. I can have anything I want... why wasn't I born 30 years later?

Gen Z graduates are searching for any signs that AI won't be able to swipe their entry-level roles right out of college. But Elon Musk anticipates a very different future for those young hopefuls: By the time they're in their forties, they won't have to work at all.
"In less than 20 yearsbut maybe even as little as 10 or 15 yearsthe advancements in AI and robotics will bring us to the point where working is optional," Musk said yesterday on an episode of the People by WTF] podcast.
Technologies such as ChatGPT and Google Gemini have already alleviated the burden of some time-consuming work, such as data cleaning, summarization, and other administrative tasks. By 2029, one survey last year found that AI will save workers up to 12 hours per week.
The podcast host, Nikhil Kamath, noted that parts of the world are already seeing a shift to shorter workweeks as a result. But forget the four-day workweek. As AI continues to boost productivity gains, Musk insisted that jobs will become more of a personal choice, like a hobby.
Musk doubles down on his vision that work will be optional in the future
It's not the first time the SpaceX founder and richest person in the world, worth $450 billion, has said that workers could inevitably choose whether they want to work or not. Just a couple of weeks ago at the U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum in Washington, D.C, Musk made the comparison of working to having an at-home garden.
Yesterday, he echoed the same sentiment. "You can grow your own vegetables in your garden or you could go to the store and buy vegetables," the billionaire tech mogul explained. "It's much harder to grow your own vegetables. But some people like to grow their vegetables, which is fine. But it'll be optional, in that way, is my prediction."
Without needing to go into an office, Musk added that living near oneor out in the countrysidewill be completely optional too. "It won't be the case that you have to be in a city for a job," Musk said, adding that a Universal High Income will pay for people's living expenses and anything else they can think of.
"If you can think of it, you can have it, will be the future," Musk added.
Amazing salesmanship. I can have anything I want... why wasn't I born 30 years later?
