Elon’s sudden UBI hype feels exactly like a classic Osho parable. In the story, a prisoner facing execution buys a year of freedom by promising the king he’ll teach his favorite horse to fly. His weeping wife asks how, and he replies: “A year is a long time. The king might die, the horse might die, I might die—or maybe the horse will fly!” Right now, tech elites are facing an execution-level backlash over AI job displacement, crushing grid demands, and unproven tech. By promising a magical “do-nothing income” future, Elon buys time. It’s a brilliant hedge to keep markets hyped, pump SpaceX’s massive new IPO valuation, and delay the harsh reality check of immediate operational limits. He’s selling a flying horse. submitted by /u/Kitchen-Trouble7588
