Muskian future of work: An OTT series without a plot
Elon Musk has done it again. In between launching rockets, wiring brains to computers, and arguing with strangers on X at 3 am, the world’s most prolific futurist-in-chief has made yet another promise to civilisation: artificial intelligence (AI) will make work optional.
Let that sink in. In the brave new world, humans won’t work for survival. We’ll work only if we want to. This is excellent news for millions who hate their jobs, but deeply unsettling for managers whose sole purpose in life is “touch base”, “quick calls”, “circling back”, and “synergy”. AI may not just kill jobs—it may kill corporate vocabulary.
