| Subject: Ugh: Elon Musk Thinks Automation Will Lead to a Universal Basic Income Sun Nov 06, 2016 7:05 pm | |
| In addition to addressing issues at SpaceX, Elon Musk spent some time during a Friday CNBC interview addressing how automation will impact the job market. Musk’s Tesla Motors is leading the way to self-driving cars, while also pushing factories to new levels of automation. And he thinks that workers displaced by those and other forms of automation will need help permanently, and on a broad scale.
“I think that there’s a pretty good chance we end up with a universal basic income, or something like that, due to automation,” Musk said. “I’m not sure what else one would do.”

Wish he's just stick to what he's good at: giving us all spectacular 'fireworks' instead... and then STFU!
