A cynical view is that he does understand and is just shitposting and muddying the water around UBI

find it hard to believe a CEO wouldn't understand

Being a CEO is an actual disease that causes measurable cognitive decline. These are literally the dumbest fucks on the planet.

Its a cover. Saying populist ideas without any intention to support them or help them come about is just a way to hide his real actions under a veneer.

Well, the text says "you could actually get deflation because there will be so much abundance produced". There is some reality where this is true, as increasing the monetary mass would do nothing if the economy (the amount of goods and services produces) increases proportionally. But I wouldn't bet on a universal basic income increasing the country's production.
Also, only the rich and upper-middle class would suffer from inflation. Poor people's financial situation would still improve.

The only way this makes sense, and I guarantee he’s not advocating for this, would be to print and distribute so much money to the lower and middle classes that the upper class wealth is diluted and inequality is reduced. But the havoc that would wreak outside of the US is something I can’t even speculate on.

How do you get UBI without issuing checks from the Treasury. There isn't enough tax money that can be taken from Billionaires to sustain UBI.

Not just tax a percentage, but take every penny of every Billionaire in the US. Net worth of all US billionaires is 8.4 Trillion.

270 million US adults.

= 31k per person. Once.

That's 31k one time. Then there is no money for next year.
