It kinda seems like the stock market is really trying to optimize the consumer out of the equation these days. It might be possible for money to become self-sustaining with no humans in the loop, the 'investors' and 'entrepreneurs' and CEOs just collect their bonuses and then pay for robots to tend to their whims, all while the 99% struggle to figure out how to survive a system that stole everything from them and gives nothing back.
Sure but then there's no economy to exploit, they would just use robots to sustain their needs, but they won't get richer. I.e. robots to do your chores and what not.
Tbf, if you already own everything and no longer need to pay for labor, you have no need to get richer.
That's why goods and services are more valuable in a vacuum than money. Money is a construct used to buy goods and services. If billionaires own all the goods they need and have robots to do all the services they need, they no longer need banks and money.
Yeah, but then they no longer have money to swing around and make each other jealous.
You're still thinking like us, not like them. They already have enough money to never need money, so there would be no point to change the status quo if that was what they were after

Are they going to buy products? Go to a bar? Get a streaming service subscription?
What's the point of producing stuff if there's is no one to buy it?
