1. Musk in 2025: AI Will Take All Jobs - complete BS, as usual...
So far, there has been little, if any ROI on enterprise AI rollouts, and companies found they are blowing their budgets by token-maxxing, and that was even before deploying agentic AI, when they don't know how many tokens the model's agents will burn doing requested tasks, and then get surprised with the bill:

* 18% of organizations now orchestrating multiple agents across workflows, up from 9% in the previous period
* A $0.04 chat can become a $1.20 orchestration when it requires tool retrieval, planning and subagents
* AI coding costs are expected to surpass average developer salaries by 2028
* Despite enterprises spending an average of $11.5 million on AI in 2026, most struggle to demonstrate any clear return on investment.
* Recent tests have shown Chinese models to be much cheaper "per task" (not necessarily per token) and do almost as good a job as best US models, like Mythos, that run on more advanced hardware.
2. ... But Standard of Living Won't Fall
True, but it's more of Musk selling "Utopian" future (remember "Occupy Mars!" or Hyperloop or "Saving the Earth with EVs and solar panels") if only everyone buys into his "vision" and his "X-tools" - recently merged with SpaceX, xAI has just been rebranded as SpaceXAI (makes it easier to hide financial losses from xAI / Grok / eX-Twitter etc):

The real reason that "standard of living" won't fall is not because of bogus "AI will take all jobs... but you will like it" and Musk's upselling non-workable dystopian "UBI" into Utopian "UHI" - typically, "standard of living" and employment has risen with new, revolutionary or evolutionary technology, while often displacing some occupations and jobs. "AI" is not that much different - more technologically advanced, better educated societies replace brawn with brains:

3. Tesla CEO says work will soon be optional... - more BS, never worked, even when "From each according to their ability, to each according to their need" was fashionable - this is how it ends up:

4. ... as AI takes over all labour. - as in the "Horseshoe theory" it's a fine line just where and how this Musk's dystopian vision turns into Musk's Utopian vision; see point 1.

We were supposed to be draining the swamp of those that don't serve and only take, ie ineffective politicians
But what we have done instead is fire our brightest and now our best and brightest talents are leaving the US because they are NOT APPRECIATED NOR VALUED
May they find happiness in their job, home and life,
