Universal high-income checks, the government printing money to support idlers—this economics textbook needs to be rewritten.

Elon Musk posted on X stating that government-issued universal high-income checks are the best way to address unemployment caused by AI. He believes that products and services produced by AI and robots will far surpass the growth rate of money supply, and will not trigger inflation; the future bottleneck is how to ensure that unemployed people still have purchasing power. This view continues his "post-scarcity" concept: robot labor will significantly reduce the cost of goods, thereby supporting social welfare above the survival threshold.
