Musk Suggests Treasury Should Directly Send Money to People in AI-Dominated Era
Elon Musk stated that in an AI-dominated world, the Treasury should "send funds directly to the public," predicting that "we will fight hard against deflation."
This viewpoint has sparked discussions on the impact of AI on employment and monetary policy.
Funds are flowing towards assets benefiting from stimulus policies or hedging against deflation, favoring sectors related to consumption and growth rather than traditional inflation-benefiting industries.

Musk has previously discussed the long-term impact of AI on employment and the economy, and this suggestion continues his focus on universal basic income or stimulus policies, similar to his thoughts on societal structures in the age of robotics.
In terms of capital pathways, the explosion of AI productivity may lead to deflationary pressures, with resources shifting towards direct stimulus mechanisms and consumption-driven assets to maintain demand.
Similar to the direct cash policies during the pandemic, AI is currently in the early stages of labor replacement and economic rebalancing.
Essentially, this represents a regulatory change: direct fiscal transfers to address AI-induced deflation, with capital concentrating on consumption and social stability sectors that benefit from policy, reshaping the monetary policy framework and economic growth model.
