Bezos says 'millions of people' will be living in space by 2045 - and robots will commute on our behalf to the moon

25. Here's the money shot:

“If you need to do some work on the surface of the moon or anywhere else, we will be able to send robots to do that work, and that will be much more cost-effective than sending humans.”

Amazon internal communications recently surfaced indicating Bezo intends to replace over 600,000 workers with robots. In his address to his fellow tech oligarchs he literally outlines how the true exploitation of space will be accomplished through robot efforts because that’s “more cost-effective than sending humans”.

Bottom line, tech bro oligarchs offer grand visions of how much advancing technology will benefit humanity, and in some ways it may, but their true motivation is and always will be the accumulation of wealth and power.
