We could have so much free time if the gains from all the automation were evenly distributed.

How much free time would we have now if the current gains from capitalism were evenly distributed (or any previous economic system)? What makes you think automation will be different?

- 1% of the world population owns 95% of the total world wealth, as per Oxfam - World Food Program from the UN calculated a need to 93 billion per year to solve food hunger in 5 years - A single SpaceX IPO already raised 85$ billion of cash

I would say... a lot.

After indeed, maybe without capitalism we would have not got this amount of wealth already, and nothing stops us to build socialism inside a capitalistic system, by using more cooperative, governement venture capitals, sovereign funds.
