There will be universal high income (not merely basic income). Everyone will have the best medical care, food, home, transport and everything else. Sustainable abundance.

Quote attributed to Elon Musk: "There will be universal high income (not merely basic income). Everyone will have the best medical care, food, home, transport and everything else. Sustainable abundance." The source_url (foxbusiness.com) returns HTTP 403, so I could not fetch it directly. However, web search located the exact verbatim original: Musk's own X post (x.com/elonmusk/status/1959723029531181380), dated late August 2025, plus multiple secondary sources (Yahoo Finance, Benzinga, Basic Income Canada Network) all reproducing it word-for-word. Because the original post dates to Aug 2025 (with Sept 2025 coverage), I corrected the year field from 2026 to 2025. Attribution is solid and the "for" vote on statement 224 ("Implement a universal basic income") is reasonable — Musk advocates income redistribution (he calls for "universal high income," even more generous than UBI). Marking ai_unverifiable only because the source_url blocks automated access; the quote is genuine and accurately attributed.
