IBM chief executive Ginni Rometty says “there is not one more important [topic] for all of us” than the potential of technology to create inequality by concentrating huge wealth in the hands of a few.

This is quoted to forecast the world without the UBI. But maybe this explains, in a strange manner, why Musk supports the UBI.

I mean that, the idea among the rich on the UBI is perhaps to rip people off job opportunities and concentrate money to them. The UBI would be a handy excuse for getting people off work. If that happens, we replace $30k, say, annual salary with $10k UBI.

I know I’m a paranoid, but we should be careful if the rich welcome something.
