New comments from Elon Musk about human workers being replaced by AI and robots and the abolishment of money sound like quotes from one of the most anti-freedom, Orwellian, globalist manifestos published in the 21st century.
Imagine a future where almost all jobs are taken by robots and artificial intelligence, with no physical currency, while humans are allowed to amuse themselves all day long — unless of course the powerful elites believe they’re stepping out of line. That describes not only the 2030 vision of the insidious World Economic Forum (WEF), but also the newly described vision of Elon Musk.
Musk enthused at the U.S.-Saudi investment forum, “If you go out long enough, assuming there's a continued improvement in AI and robotics, which seems likely, the money will stop being relevant at some point in the future.” OK, Karl Marx. There will never be a time when there is not some sort of currency, but Musk‘s proposal is eerily similar to that of globalists who admire the Chinese model of digital currency entirely controlled by the government and doled out only to meek little peons.

Musk also bragged, “My prediction is that work will be optional. It'll be like playing sports or a video game or something like that.” Except that if all work is optional, supposing that could actually be achieved, then you are dependent for everything on whoever controls the robots. In other words, if your government or the woke businesses whose machines work your grocery store, your bank, your electricity, and everything else decide your opinions and actions are not approved, your life is over. There is a reason that St. Paul said in the Bible that those who do not work should not eat (2 Thessalonians 3:10), because God commanded man to work (Genesis 2:15, 3:23) — both before and after the Fall — and any plan that promises to abolish work is not only a lie, but is also outright evil.
This is hardly the first red flag from Musk. He’s a transhumanist who pushes climate alarmism and, while touting free speech, defends his X censors daily suppressing speech (what Musk calls “freedom of speech, not reach.”) Most concerning of all, he has regularly expanded his business in China, profiting off cheap, abusive labor there, and slavishly pandering to Chinese Communist Party (CCP) propaganda.
And therein we find a connection between Musk and WEF, which is their shared devotion to the CCP and promotion of its harmful but high-sounding socialist policies. Below is the section from WEF’s 2016 article: “Welcome to 2030. I own nothing, have no privacy, and life has never been better.” I also include the section that exposes the truly Orwellian dystopia under all the happy talk:
First communication became digitized and free to everyone…Shopping? I can’t really remember what that is. For most of us, it has been turned into choosing things to use. Sometimes I find this fun, and sometimes I just want the algorithm to do it for me. It knows my taste better than I do by now.
When AI and robots took over so much of our work, we suddenly had time to eat well, sleep well and spend time with other people…For a while, everything was turned into entertainment and people did not want to bother themselves with difficult issues…Once in awhile I get annoyed about the fact that I have no real privacy. No where I can go and not be registered. I know that, somewhere, everything I do, think and dream of is recorded. I just hope that nobody will use it against me.
Musk and WEF’s vision is anti-individual, collectivist, elitist, authoritarian, and anti-American. You think we would’ve learned from decades of the welfare state that re-distributing wealth and allowing large numbers of people not to work is destructive both for the people themselves and for society as a whole. And yet for some reason, we are still ignoring biblical principles, historical evidence, and the greatest political theories to pursue a utopia that will always and inevitably turn into a dystopia.
