Elon Musk on why universal basic income is coming and also points another massive challenge: “I think ultimately we will have to have some kind of universal basic income. I don’t think we’re going to have a choice. I think it’s going to be necessary There will be fewer... and fewer jobs that a robot cannot do better These are not things that I wish would happen - these are simply things that I think probably will happen If my assessment is correct, then we need to say, ‘What are we going to do about it?’ Universal basic income is going to be necessary The much harder challenge is how do people then have meaning? A lot of people derive their meaning from their employment If you’re not needed, if there’s not a need for your labor, what’s the meaning? Do you have meaning? Do you feel useless? That’s a much harder problem to deal with”show more

ELON: THERE WILL BE FEWER AND FEWER JOBS THAT A ROBOT CAN’T DO BETTER “I think ultimately we will have to have some kind of universal basic income. I don't think we're going to have a choice. There will be fewer and fewer jobs that a robot cannot do better. I want to be clear, these are not things that I wish would happen. These are simply things that I think probably will happen.

Elon Musk on Universal Basic Income as a solution to mass unemployment when AI and robotics take over "What to do about mass unemployment? This is going to be a massive social challenge.

Sam Altman reveals why he no longer believes universal basic income is the answer to AI "I used to be really excited about universal basic income, where you just give everybody money. I still am kind of excited about that. But I think people really need agency" "If you just say AI is going to do everything and everybody gets a dividend, it's not going to feel good, and I don't think it would actually be good for people" "I don't just want a check every month. What I'd want is an ownership share in whatever the AI creates, so I feel like I'm participating in this thing that's going to compound and get more valuable over time" "So I sort of like universal basic wealth better than universal basic income"

ELON: AI WILL CREATE UNIVERSAL HIGH INCOME, NOT JUST BASIC INCOME “We could have an economy ten times the size of the current global economy where no one wants for anything. Sometimes in AI they talk about universal basic income, I think it’s actually going to be universal high income, where anyone can have any goods or services they want. There are risks, of course. If we don’t do this right, you could end up with something out of a James Cameron movie.” Source: vitrupo

Trump: I hope we get cooperation from the courts because you know, we have thousands of people that are ready to go out. And you cannot have a trial for all of these people. The system was not meant that not -- we don't think there is anything that says… We are getting them out. And a judge cannot say no, you have to have a trial. The trial is going to take two years. No, we are going to have a very dangerous country if we are not allowed to do what we are entitled to do.

Elon Musk: You do not have to go to college. These skills probably will not be necessary in a post-work society. Nikhil Kamath: “Do you think kids should go to college any more?” Elon: “Well, I think if you wanna go to college for social reasons, that is, I think, a reason to go. To be around people your own age in a learning environment. Will these skills be necessary in the future? Probably not, because we are gonna be in like a post-work society. But I think, if something is of interest, it is fine to go and study that. I don’t think you have to go to college, but I think if you do, you just try to learn as much as possible across a wide range of subjects. But like I said, AI and robotics is a supersonic tsunami. So this is really gonna be the most radical change that we have ever seen.” Source: People by WTF with Nikhil Kamath, November 30, 2025.

Sam Altman's new interview: AI should not be designed to pursue goals that are disconnected from human needs. People must remain at the center of AI development. “I have no interest in building a super-smart AI that accomplishes some non-human goals. People should react. People should say, ‘Hey, this is what I want, and this is what I do not want.’ I do not think the issue is that we have failed to explain the benefits. We say, ‘AI is going to cure a bunch of diseases,’ and people say, ‘Okay, that is great, but that is not really my question. My question is: What is my role in the future? What is my economic future? What is my agency? How do I know that my kids and my family will still be able to have fulfilling, creative expression, struggle, drive the world forward, grow, and do this thing together in a way that has worked for a long time?’ When people in AI say, ‘Sure, there are going to be no jobs,’ or ‘50% of jobs are going to go away,’ or ‘90% of jobs are going to go away,’ and ‘AI is going to be smarter than you at everything,’ and ‘We will give you some basic income, but you are not really going to have a role,’ that is horrible. And by the way, if an AI company says, ‘Maybe we are going to destroy all the jobs, and we will be the most valuable company in the world,’ people should look at you like, ‘Yeah, that is a terrible message.’ I do not think the problem is that we have not articulated the upsides. I think people actually believe us. They hear, ‘AI may cure your cancer,’ and they think, ‘That sounds great.’ I think we, as an industry, have failed to explain how people stay in control of determining the future at every step, and how people can still have a meaningful life in all the ways we care about.” ---- From "CNBC Television" YouTube channel, (link in comment)

Not universal basic income, universal high income. There will be no shortage of goods or services.

ELON: EVERYONE ON EARTH WILL WANT THEIR OWN ROBOT “My prediction is the robots will actually make so many robots and AI that they will actually saturate all human needs, meaning you won't be able to even think of something to ask the robot for at a certain point. There'll be more robots than people. I think everyone on Earth is going to have one and going to want one, because who wouldn't want a robot to, assuming it's very safe, watch over your kids, take care of your pet. If you have elderly parents, it's very difficult to take care of them. It's expensive, and there just aren't enough young people to take care of the old people. If you had a robot that could take care of and protect an elderly parent, I think that would be great. That would be an amazing thing to have. And I think we will have those things.” Source: Elon Musk Interview at WEF, January 2026

Not good if true… Matt Gaetz says the Republican Party, and by extension President Trump, is beginning to accept the Idea of UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME “I will be telling my grandkids what it was like to order food from a person. — We have 7 million men who make their living driving today, those jobs are GONE in the next half-decade.” Where do those people go? “That’s when you’ll start to see calls for universal basic income. We will say there’s such wealth being created on these tech platforms and I worry that will zap the motivation in the country in a bad way.” He says republicans will want to compete with democrats on the notion of “free stuff”, so they will likely create their own version of it when jobs start going away.
