Nobody with all the money is going to willingly make money irrelevant, unless they can preserve their power in some other fashion.

If that is true, then why demand obscene payment packages?
But, but, it's worth nothing!!
It's possible, but not with jackasses like Elon in charge.

I think computers are a good [current] example of when tech got ahead of society. Especially the Internet but moreso the ability to make complex systems that don't require as much direct human interaction.
Elon Musk is a fucking idiot.
“It’s much harder to grow vegetables in your backyard, but some people still do it because they like growing vegetables,” Musk added.

Yes, in the far distant future people will be able to have things they need and not have to work. AI will also exist in that future.
However, I don't think anyone believes that future will arrive in the next decade.
If money is going to be irrelevant, then he should give his all away right now. Get ahead of that curve.
What a dumbass.
Pure genius from the almighty himself! I'll quit my job now while I'm ahead (not on my mortgage). /s

The last guy we want promoting good things. He will curse them with his waxy Elder Things notions.
He probably means for anyone with at least 100 million in wealth. Everyone else just doesn't matter to him.
