Always wondered. Who is going to buy stuff if noone has a job anymore (or income)?

On top of UBI that has been mentioned (and in true socialism - everyone's needs met beyond that, including housing, food, utilities, and so on), without capitalism the artificial "need" to "buy stuff" will no longer exist, so there's no problem.
One thing capitalism is great at is selling us "solutions" to problems it created itself.-

The rich.

Small pool tho

You appear to underestimate the capacity of the rich to come up with ways to overspend.

That's where UBI comes into play

For a guy like Trump or Elon, it's not about owning nice things or having wonderful experiences, it's about having people line up to kiss your ass.

No one. They’ll phase the proletariat out. Once we’re no longer needed as either labourers or consumers, we’re not needed period.
They’ll mess around with UBI, it will be dystopian (digital tokens with expiry dates, social credit penalties) but eventually they’ll get bored and just kill us off.
The moment is fast approaching — socialism or barbarism.
