Poor Elon has never seen a problem he doesn't think can be solved with expensive whizzy tech. I'm waiting for the day when, after struggling to cut and eat a meal, he raises $15 billion to create an AI-controlled battery-powered Knork. But don't worry: it will have a million-chew battery. As for tech, the US Marine Corps demonstrated the dangers of tech-first thinking with their disastrous and hugely expensive mechanized "horse" to transport loads over rough terrain. A llama is a much cheaper, far more reliable, and quieter option.
