Elon Musk: 'Universal income is needed if robots steal our jobs'

Tech genius and global innovator Elon Musk has announced that he believes all employees are in need of a “basic universal income” due to the imminent arrival of automation.

In an interview with CNBC, he explained: “People will have time to do other things, more complex things, more interesting things. Certainly more leisure time. And then we gotta figure how we integrate with a world and future with a vast AI.”

“Ultimately, I think there has to be some improved symbiosis with digital super intelligence.”

The Tesla CEO claimed that the threat of mass automation, aka robots stealing our jobs, should be on the minds of all business leaders and ground workers alike.
