I just don't see that to be true. If tommorow someone pulls a proof that n = np out of their ass but is not able to explain it, it will still have immense value.
With no explanation, how will you know whether it genuinely is proof?

I don't think anyone wants to be employed. They want the money that comes with employment. If you can make get money without employment, like rich kids, for example, I think most people would prefer that.
And you think that once the poor are no longer needed by the rich, the rich will decide to just give them money anyway? We already have dedicated campaigns to make sure people die sick and homeless on the streets when they become obsolete. You think that is not going to get much, much worse?

I think everyone should become rich. That is the goal of AI, isn't it?

You should give it a try. Tao is a wonderful person and is trying to help humanity.
If he was, he wouldn't be doing useless pure math research. He is doing his hobby (pure math) while getting paid for it. That's not what helping humanity looks like. (Yes, pure math research is useless. Applied math is very useful, but he is doing pure math, which is very useless.)

It’s almost stunning how ignorant you are about everything you’re talking about. Tao publishes work that would fit in applied math research programs. There’s no meaningful distinction between pure and applied math and I doubt you know any based on your comment. There’s at least 3 additional corrections I’d like to make to your ignorant thinking but I’ll leave it at that.

So who gets to live in Montecito?
Being rich doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. But it means you can choose not to do what you don't want.

Even Tao says that proofs are worthless if humans don't understand them. If they had any independent utility, human understanding would not be necessary.
