@elonmusk My 96 yo grandfather still builds kitchens in his spare time. I've never known anyone more consistently productive, and he loves it. I truly believe it is the reason he's still independent at 96. He's my hero ❤️

What goddamn la la planet are these people on? Yeah, retirement will become obsolete because we'll be working AI-proof jobs until we drop.

Will we still have to pay taxes in the abundance future? Ray talks about and you are promoting "working" well past retirement, but also redefining work as a hobby. What is the point of paying taxes in a abundant future, shouldn't robots be able to pay off the national debt? And if they can do that would politicians try and find a way to spend more and more? Will we be able to limit politicians to spending below our means at some point?

Complete BS. I retired in 2022 at 66 after working for 49 years, 32 running my own IT Professional Services company. I built up my own private pension, paid off my mortgage and own everything. I just have fun now playing, writing and recording music.

@elonmusk Also, roughly 1 in 5 people who retire at 65 won’t make it to 75. They die within ~ 10 years of retirement. How sad is that!? That should change. More fulfillment and healthier and longer lives. Amazing abundance!

For those who serve a master: you are correct. That's why my Italian grandfather who escaped Mussolini always said, "You never get rich working for the man." You should always raise your children to work for themselves at something they would love to do for the rest of their lives. That's what it means to have a career.

@elonmusk The path the sloven, lazy society People need goals, forcing functions, at times. Don't under estimate the laziness of the masses.

This is actually the dream scenario and something I am thinking about a lot these days. Most of the USA (including me) was forcing a job that they hated, simply for money. And the hope that one day they would not have to do it anymore. But what if you actually enjoy your work AND also make a lot of money? That is the true holy grail..

If the technocrats like Musk and Thiel and Bezos get their way the elderly will be on exercise bikes adding electricity to the grid for 8 hours a day if they want to keep their social security...

@elonmusk Imagine believing the elite are building this to help peasants live better lives. They are building our replacements.

@elonmusk It’s the “find something within their means that gives them gratification..” part that raises more questions. That signals to me that you’d better have quite a bit of cash piled up before this happens.

It’s similar to the difference in life today vs the 1700’s. If you weren’t growing your own food, you were in trouble. That’s where your time went- to labor for sustenance. Now you labor to produce income for sustenance and other things. What’s the next step?

79% of Gen X and Y are wishing this would happen now but I think this is 20 years away or so, 10 at best

@elonmusk This would imply that individuals, not businesses, will own their own AI bots/ robots/ etc. if laws are not made to ensure this corporations will simply purchase those ai tools and cut employees out.

@elonmusk I don't think most humans would know how to effectively and productively use all of that free time. Many would just sit around. The system needs to reward challenge, by giving more money to those who are productive, rather than being couch potatoes.

There is not a particular age for retirement, If you love what you do keep doing that

@elonmusk My problem with not working is that a lot of people will use this free time to be destructive as they have no moral compass and will slide into deviant behaviors.

How many times have we heard this only to find that ordinary people are working just as hard as they ever did at jobs most of them don't necessarily want or care about?

I'll be the uncool guy here: Calling retirement obsolete is like calling seatbelts obsolete because self-driving is coming. Cool demo. Still need the protection.

There's a direct correlation between the ease of your job and the age you retire.

Retirement won't disappear because of Al. It will disappear because it was designed for a stable, linear, predictable world. None of that exists anymore.

People who don't "understand" retirement are probably those who do what they love and earn (really) a lot of money doing it, whose work usually involves more mental than physical effort and little hassle in the process, or it's work that feeds their ego. Incidentally, "you will earn your daily bread by the sweat of your brow" was part of the punishment applied to Adam and Eve when they were expelled from Paradise.

Retirement may change, but people will always need balance between work, rest, and personal life.

The Navy taught me this at 22. Purpose isn't something you retire FROM… it's what keeps you going. Now at 38, I'm training for marathons and building an AI running coach. Work feels like play. Why would I ever stop?

If you love what you do, keep doing it. I speak to many people whose attitude towards retirement has changed. Something that will become increasingly common now we are living longer.

We can't afford a bunch of geriatrics still robbing us blind well into their withering years. Just look at Congress for a good example. They're all crooked and still destroying America. They made their own rules, and we can't get them out of there. Retirement is just not for you but a well-needed refreshment of minds and souls.

No plans to retire. I started a new non toxic home building company at 52. My grandfathers motto “you quit you die”.

@elonmusk UBI should start with those closest to retirement. If LEV is a thing then the older generation may miss out on it. It would be good to let them live their best life as soon as possible. Then lower the age of UBI as the tech expands.
