And by this you mean taking from one group and giving to another based on skin color or politics.

Easy to say money won't matter when you'll be worth one trillion dollars soon

Suppose we mine an asteroid that has fifty bazilion tons of pure gold. That won’t make anyone wealthier. It will just remove any pretense of scarcity for gold and collapse the gold market. Same for diamonds, iron, copper or any metal we can get from another space rock. Our actual wealth won’t increase because we will still have to create mechanisms and opportunities to feed and house the people, either through general commerce or charity. The true frontier is getting our affairs in order on Earth.

Nah, she'll just bat her fake lashes and rake up all the moon cotton in one swoop.

"We are going to Mars's"

Every time Elon gets depressed he says shite like this.

I have a hard time imaging a civilization where money and status are not a sought after metric.
Even if everyone drove a Ferrari people would want the next best thing and would covet those who could obtain it.
No doubt cavemen would look at our lives now and wonder what we could be wanting but yet we still strive for more.
“Post scarcity” would seem to be a utopian pipe dream and outside the grasp of the human condition.

Let us compare your accomplishments with Elon's. I'm sure you'll easily eclipse him, right friend?

Imagine living your life wanting to take from someone else to make yourself feel better about the fact you're a loser.

Does your wife's boyfriend know you're posting right now?

Money will remain relevant insofar as you want a bigger dick than your neighbor.

If you think about it, money is already irrelevant in the US. The poorest of people are obese and the middle class “works” 50-60 hours a week only to give away the wages to Walmart and Amazon in exchange for plastic from China that will be in the garbage within 6 months.
