Optimus will finally make it possible for us (the 1%) to eliminate poverty for 2 reasons: First because we don't need the poor anymore for manual labor, and second because with Optimus we can automate their extermination.

Elon Musk says Optimus will 'eliminate poverty' in speech after his $1 trillion pay package was approved
(www.businessinsider.com)
That's the only way the 1% could eliminate poverty. If it were at all possible.
Well no they could just be charitable and fix poverty with their massive wealth they just don't wanna
Yes, it will definitely not be the 1% that eliminate poverty, but when a majority decides to do so.
They won't necessarily kill or exterminate us. They'll just let us die.
Right!? he was literally referring to this as an "enormous robot army" a couple weeks ago.
No, the value of the top 1% would go down of nobody is left to buy their products, services, software, finance their tax breaks or produce all the goods they need.
A(ctual) I(ndians) at it again...
They just want to dehumanize labour, and not in the way you'd think.
It's still crazy to me Elmo dressed up humans in robot costumes to try and trick in estors into thinking they were ai waiters...
And Bezos tried to sell companies "workless shops" services run by AI, by having whole foods use Indians watching cameras to pretend AI was something to invest in...
And there just wasn't any lawsuits.
How the fuck isn't it fraud?
The big money that's already in are just trying to trick people into joining so they can rugpull.
Like every good grift: ounce of truth, pound of bullshit
What, like the Tories did? /s
Elon wants to eliminate poverty but thinks poverty are the poor. He wants to get rid of the poor and his robot army is going to remove everyone who he has made poor.
Dearest Luigi, I don’t have the strength to do what is necessary. Grant me the power to do what needs to be done.
One of you is using the monkey's paw again, aren't you?
In 17 years time... ooooh, eliminate the POOR!! yeah, that makes more sense
It's going to kill them, isn't it?
And grind them up to make Soylent Green.
Mmmm. Soylent Green 🤤
And then Optimus will come around to your house, and it will give everyone free ice cream. Whatever flavor you like! Then Optimus will save all the sick animals and make them better, and fix the ozone layer, and stop crime. Optimus is going to cure cancer, and eliminate traffic jams, and make me the most popular man in the world. A true communist utopia.
It will even fuck your wives and implant a seed directly from Musk's personal Tesla sperm dispenser.
By "eliminate poverty" he means killing all the poor people with his robot army.
The best thing he could do for the world would be to take up a fentanyl hobby.
With his money, he could eliminate poverty right now. Why wait?
Will he use his new trillion dollars for betterment of humankind?
The cost of such a luxury will never approach zero
No he won't.
I will gladly be "eliminated" then be a slave for this bastard and his 1% friends.
