I spent the last 8 months digging into Elon’s “Sustainable Abundance” idea.
I used Grok 4.1 to accelerate the research (it turned months of notes into a finished paper in days), and my sister red-teamed it until she invented the “Golden Triangle” — three simple laws that make sure renters and the indebted aren’t crushed for 6–9 years.
The robots, energy, and self-driving cars are coming no matter what.
These three laws decide whether the transition is gentle or brutal.

Key takeaway: Mid-2027 is the point of no return. After that, nothing short of WWIII stops it.
What do you think — does the Golden Triangle actually work, or is there a better bridge?
And for transparency, this is one of the places Grok suggested I publish this. And I am not sure about the (clean Google Doc, 10 min read) bit.

… and I’m out.
Is this based on Elon’s claims about the Optimus robots?
You should also ask grok who is better at basketball, Elon or LeBron james
Abundance, or post-scarcity as its usually referred to, has been possible for decades. The issue has always been unequal distribution.
You guys are just figuring out Marxist theory the slow and painful way. All this shit is already figured out. Communism is literally the theory of abundance equally distributed due to class dissolution. Robots, ai and automation are a huge part of that, and again a part of Marxist theory since the 1850s.
Capitalism produces massive abundance but private property laws don’t let it be distributed fairly, this eventually becomes too extreme and some kind of social revolution leads to the fair distribution, solving societal inequality, poverty etc. (obviously the “some kind of” part is the major debate, like how??)
Elon Musk isn’t going to do it though, he’s missing the core part, that the wealth he has is part of it, and he won’t voluntarily share a penny.
I think you need to go seek professional help from a therapist immediately. And I mean that very, very seriously. You are trusting the ‘words’ of a random number generator. Please re-read that, and think about it. It is equal to basing your life, ideas, and beliefs on what you get by shaking a magic 8-ball.
Oh my god…
Considering empirical analysis of history suggest that any new wealth are not distributed in proportion, what is the causal nexus that will make this wealth — which your “paper” calls sustainable but seems more like infinite or superlative — will be distributed among people at all?
LOL, ok not going to bother to respond to most of these. I can tell that most if not all of these responses, currently, have not actually read the full paper. When I see an actual comment based off of the data I will jump in there.
