Elon & Bernie Agree: Robots Will Steal Your Job, Sorry Not Sorry

In a headline-grabbing bromance, Elon Musk and Senator Bernie Sanders joined forces—sort of—to warn that AI-powered robots will turn the US workforce into ghost towns by 2027. With Amazon plotting to replace 600,000 human drones with their robot cousins, Jeff Bezos probably already cycled to Mars. Musk, who’s busy Tesla-assembling robots, claims working will become as optional as growing your own carrots, while Sanders frets about jobless Americans binge-watching Netflix unpaid. Meanwhile, Congress is on a permanent vacation, and Trump’s AI czar calls it 'Doomer narratives.' Forget policy prep; the only race happening is tech cash sprinting past everyday folks faster than you can say 'superintelligence apocalypse.'
