Jon Stewart on Elon Musk Opening the Possibility of Universal Income Due to A.I.: ‘We Can Capitalism Our Way to Socialism’

EXCERPT:

STEWART: “That’s your answer? If we let them do enough unfettered capitalism, we can capitalism our way to socialism?
[Cheers and applause] Knock it out! What? But if the ultimate goal of having an immense flood of money in society is to then give it away for free to the people, quick question. Why wait? If $50 trillion gets us to a future where the government has enough to get people money, why not just give us the $50 trillion now? Don’t call us welfare queens. Just call us early adopters!”
