    Maybe in a few hundred years when automated manufacturing is churning out low cost goods using the infinite resources found around the solar system (also gathered and processed by automated processes). But there’s no “age of jobless abundance” until the raw materials are so abundant that they’re effectively value-less. Which they are very much not, and won’t be in the lifetime of anyone currently living.

    The worlds richest man needs to learn a lot of things, chief among them a little basic economics.
