    My point is that what he’s aiming for isn’t what you’re imagining or describing. He doesn’t want comfort or care for others, he wants to have as much money and power as he can possible claw in, and others having something means he has less to hoard. In short, he’s lying and it’s important to understand that.

      Hopefully we can have change so we get what he predicts and not what he wants.

      It’s also not what this image is saying either.

      Yes we know what Musk actually wants, but what’s being described in the image is quite nice

        “The image about what the billionaire psycho is saying isn’t really about what the billionaire psycho is saying.”

        That’s not how this works.

          Musk: “Don’t kill puppies”

          You: I’m going to kill so many fucking puppies

          This is where we are at right now. Yes we do know Musk is a bad guy, but even bad people can say good things.

          Having robots labor for us would be great, just because Musk said thay doesn’t make it evil. But because Musk said it we can infer he has some additional motives, but the statement itself is still a good thing

          Like we don’t have to be this unnecessarily absolute and obtuse about things.

            I already said that there’s an actual good version of post-scarcity, good try though. And letting wolves in sheep’s fur lead you into the slaughterhouse because they put up a sign that says “Utopia” is just going to doom you and everyone else.

              And letting wolves in sheep’s fur lead you into the slaughterhouse

              Good try, but I don’t think I ever said blindly follow Musk. That’s an assumption you made

              I already said that there’s an actual good version of post-scarcity

              Why are we arguing?
