"Musk’s Tesla Motors is leading the way to self-driving cars, while also pushing factories to new levels of automation. And he thinks that workers displaced by those and other forms of automation will need help permanently, and on a broad scale.
'I think that there’s a pretty good chance we end up with a universal basic income, or something like that, due to automation,' Musk said. 'I’m not sure what else one would do.'
This is gaining traction but is still years away. We also need to switch to single payer insurance like the rest of the world, and cheaper higher education. Maybe if we didn't spend as much as the rest of the world on defense, we could afford such things?
