Musk is talking about a theoretical long-term outcome of automation and AI, not a policy proposal or a promise. He’s been consistent for years in saying that if productivity explodes, societies may have to rethink income distribution, that’s an economic observation, not a “utopian plan.”

Also, Musk isn’t a conservative ideologue or a liberal one. He mixes views: pro-markets, anti-bureaucracy, but also pragmatic about technological disruption. That makes him hard to box, not a hypocrite.

Predicting that technology could reduce scarcity isn’t the same as claiming we’re there now, or that people shouldn’t save money today. Anyone taking that literally is missing the context.

You don’t have to worship Musk to understand the argument, and you don’t have to hate him to disagree with it.
