Elon Musk is Right: He is presently the richest man in the world. He may also be the smartest.

Elon Musk is presently the richest man in the world.

He may also be the smartest.

In an interview with the British prime minister, Musk warned about the dangers of AI (artificial intelligence).

He said,  "There will come a point when no job is needed – you can have a job if you want for personal satisfaction, but the AI will be able to do everything."

Breitbart.com has added a new category to its menu: AI danger.

Here you can read some of what Musk has concluded:

Elon Musk may be a technological genius and he understands the dire consequences of a world consumed with how easily artificial creations can duplicate human labor.

But AI can be even more devastating to our lives right now due to our ignorance of its potential to create a world of fake images.

The images of celebrities are presently being used to perpetrate fraudulent advertising that will allow access to customers’ data and bank accounts. Video ads showing Oprah Winfrey and Jennifer Garner giving away cookware and deluxe mixers free of charge except for a small shipping fee are all fake. In addition, internet ads show Elon Musk inventing all kinds of devices such as small heaters, electrical plugins and mosquito killers and offering them for only that same small shipping charge.

I think AI will be used to cull the world.
Which is why digital ID is so important to the globalists. You’ll be given a number and your fitness may be determined by AI in terms of intelligence, physicality, sexual activity, athleticism.

One of the Georgia Guidestones commandments is to cull the human race to create a higher base human than what exists now.

He may be right but they largely said the same when the computer chip proliferated the globe. We’re obv decades later has computerization created or destroyed more jobs?

Papaw had a plaque on his wall that said,

“If I’m so smart why ain’t I rich?”

That plaque haunts me to this day.

As I see it, AI will figure out that there are too many people on the planet (especially given its ‘green’ programming bias) and decide that the best option is to cull the population by doing a couple of non-violent moves - shutting down the power grid, shutting down GPS, and shutting down the Internet (for the few that still manage to have power).

Then, AI will watch the population decline and when the population drops to an estimated 400 million (95% reduction), it will restore these functions.

If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.

The criteria will be how good a servant you will be to the super rich globalists.

Our Solar System has been explored with robots. Right now space is mostly a money drain , very expensive to do anything. With AI it could become the opposite, a giant productive machine. It would be like the Wild West all over again without having to kill any Indians or Buffalo.

Musk is a Deep State fraud.

No tech genius.

To get a glimpse into our AI dominated future see Mike Judge’s movie Idiocracy.

Bill Gates has a plaque on his wall that reads, “If I’m so rich, why ain’t I smart?” And it haunts him to this day.

No tech genius.

No, he's not a genius. Rather he's an extremely rich, highly motivated visionary who surrounds himself with geniuses.

I don't know of one auto company CEO who knows how to change the ballasts in a fluorescent light. That's up to the electricians who work for them.

He’s not a visionary.

He’s a Deep State cutout/front man for military/intel tech-based products.

the real problem to be solved with AI culling the population of the planet is making sure it doesn’t cull the wrong people. you know, the people who create, build, fix and heal. if our betters program it...these will be the first to go because THESE types seek freedom over tyranny and AI would be the ultimate tyranny over freedom. sad but true.

He might be. He might not. What matters here in the Circusphere where the vast majority of humanity lives and is entertained is playoffs for the Super Bowl and the latest Tik Tok gone viral.

“Musk is a Deep State fraud.

No tech genius.”

His IQ is estimated to be about 155, which is probably about 60 points ahead of yours.

He bought Twitter and has established it as the only free speech globe-girdling platform in the world, and he reads physics textbooks like you read your comics.

You’re deeply entranced by the mythology constructed around him. Unfortunately.

Do a little research and you’ll see how much is constructed. Or maybe don’t—and just go back to your comic books with other made-up “superheroes”.

Can AI build a school? Can AI bake a pie? Can AI butcher a hog? Yeah, I know, I know...just wait. Though, I’ll be long dead.
