There just may not be as much of a need for as many humans in the future as robots are built instead.
So maybe instead of 8 billion humans, we will have 1 billion humans and 99 billion robots. Then the humans can all be the 1%. Or maybe there won’t be any humans, and the robots can decide how many robots there should be.

Maybe, but we may never get there if the population that can build robots becomes too small to impact the direction of the economy.

It's fun until you ask yourself, how will you allocate voting rights?
That is, again, if we can even get there, because again, differences in birth rates across countries and cultures, plus voting rights, means a shift in mindsets and priorities.
