because the core concept of ubi is still keeping elitism and ultra wealthy individuals around; it’s just throwing a pittance at the lowest socioeconomic class to keep morale up and limit some of the social issues like crime caused by extreme poverty. But ultimately while some of these societal issues get alleviated you still have the very major issues of things like Elon musk accumulating enough wealth and power to influence elections and purchase modern communications platforms, political lobbying, and other issues associated with extreme classism.

He is and always was on team tech bro billionaire. He still thinks he (and they) is/are ultimately superior to most people. “Throw some money at them and they will quiet down”

If a UBI is funded by perpetually redistributing the wealth of the richest then this does not happen

To be clear, any fix to the system will take years, if not decades, to actually matter. So pushing against UBI is literally demanding that people suck it up and die while you wait in comfort for your proposed utopia.
