Tesla and xAI founder Elon Musk believes that AI and robots will eventually eliminate the need for humans to do any type of work.
In a post on X, the billionaire says humans will live a carefree life in the age of artificial intelligence and robotics.
“AI and robots will replace all jobs. Working will be optional, like growing your own vegetables, instead of buying them from the store.”
His view comes following reports that tech giant Amazon is exploring the idea of using robots to replace 600,000 US workers by 2033.
Says Amazon’s robotics team,
“With this major milestone now in sight, we are confident in our ability to flatten Amazon’s hiring curve over the next 10 years.”
Investor and host of the All-In Podcast, Jason Calacanis, agrees with Musk, saying the world should start preparing for massive job displacement.
“Exactly. The sooner we accept this reality, the better we can manage the transition.”
Calacanis believes that new forms of taxes will be introduced to support society.
“This sounds crazy right now, but a tax on robots used to transition workers out of jobs will not seem crazy in 36 months.”
He also predicts that electricity costs will plummet despite massive demand from AI data centers. He adds that it will be the same for food and manual labor.
“If the bill you’re talking about is electricity, food or ranch hands, be prepared for those costs to plummet by 90%.”
