If AI wipes out most jobs, who's buying anything?
Think about it—no jobs = no income = no consumer spending. Economy runs on people buying stuff. If bots replace workers but can't shop, eat out, or travel, demand collapses.
Global GDP tanks. Recession isn't a maybe, it's inevitable.
The irony? We're building the tools that kill the machine. AI replaces labor → kills purchasing power → crashes the system that funds AI development.
Elon and the AI maximalists need to address this. You can't automate away the consumer base and expect growth. The math doesn't work.
Either we rethink income distribution (UBI?) or we're headed for a demand death spiral. This isn't FUD—it's basic economics.
