@elonmusk Thats the most cynical bullshit we are being sold. While people are already replaced and thrown aside, to a fate that is the complete opposite of abundance, those building the tools are amassing never seen-before wealth. So yeah... abundance for all...
@TheNotoriousMMA@netflix God bless you, Conor! Reading these comments, seeing people who basically just find it hard to forgive themselves. I’m sure you’ll know this will be a reaction in the future. In their logic, a rapist must remain a rapist, a thief a thief, a murderer the same and so on:(
