If things continue on their current trajectory I can only see two outcomes, full on robo-socialism or late stage capitalism hell. One seems more likely but the other could be achieved, how we could get their remains to be unseen.

And where does the money come from?

UBI cannot work.

And where does the money come from?

A 90% tax rate on all oligarchs and related industries, so that is a surprising suggestion coming from an oligarch, but I guess the math still is profitable.

Or, you know, something involving guillotines and pitchforks, and seizure of the means of production and reproduction.

A capitalist monetary system is one of exploitation, money has to be taken from the poorest to flow to the top or else there would be nothing to tax.
