What is the more common way to say "you're welcome" in French: “De rien” or “Pas de problème”?

“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.

“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.

If you want to answer to a person saying “merci” you can say also:

When AI takes all jobs how will the lowest class make money to survive?

“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.

“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

Why doesn't Elon Musk know that going up against the European Union is a losing hand? Microsoft lost, Apple lost, Google lost, Facebook lost, and Amazon is losing when they tried to ignore the EU.

“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.
