Machines work.
People thrive.
When machines do the work, people should live better.
$UHI is a community built around Universal High Income: the belief that AI and robots can raise living standards for everyone, not just the owners of the machines.
If AI can do the work, people should still live well.
A higher standard of living for everyone.
Universal High Income is a future Elon Musk has described, where AI and robots become so productive that people can live well without a conventional job. $UHI exists so that idea has a community putting people, not just machines, at the centre.
- Universal Basic Income
- Enough money to cover basic living costs.
- Universal High Income
- Widespread material abundance from automation. High living standards, not just getting by.
How abundance can reach people
- AI takes on most intellectual work, freeing people from routine thinking jobs.
- Humanoid robots take on more physical labour, so people do less grinding work.
- Goods and services get dramatically cheaper to produce, so more of life is in reach.
- Society becomes far wealthier through automation.
- That wealth can support high living standards without everyone needing a conventional job.
None of this is automatic. Whether automation's gains are widely shared depends on policy, ownership and distribution. Musk has talked about UHI as a possibility; there is no funded government programme, and holding $UHI does not pay you that income.

The world is already talking about helping people
-
Musk publicly backed federal payments as a response to AI-driven unemployment.
-
He repeated his prediction that AI and robotics could bring widespread prosperity and better healthcare.
-
He pledged one SpaceX share to every American child in 2027, calling it an early step toward UHI. How the shares would be distributed is still unclear, and it is not a government programme.
