November 13, 20223 yr Problem is that automation goes overseas. No jobs for those displaced except retail or menial labor. Education and retraining doesnt work for that population. Thats why they had those trivial jobs to begin with.

I have a friend who is a partner at a major law firm, and they’ve been able to use some of this to downsize the number of associates they hire. But the rubber meets the road in the most fundamental jobs, and that’s the biggest problem. Even if we could build a robot that could fix power lines (or whatever), it would still be cheaper to just pay someone to do it.

In addition to all of those jobs that are now empty they are taking all of their capital and using it to live rather than making it available for investing. At the same time the millennials are hitting their prime spending years. All of that means rising interest rates and big worker shortages, especially in the trades. None of that will change for years.

Yeah there is some fat that can and should be trimmed in IT to be sure. Elon's approach is stupid though. It may work at SpaceX or have worked in a past generation in IT, but he's signaled to every competent developer in Silicon Valley that Twitter is a terrible place to work. Everything is relative, but nobody in SV is going to treat talented dev staff as Elon is and be able to attract talent.
