People who talk about this stuff bring up how Musk once talked about UBI, but that Musk is long gone.

The GOP is working their tails off right now to ensure that poor people can't buy their children a candy bar as a treat with the food stamp money, these lunatics would sooner execute 300 million Americans than give people a universal basic income.
