Elon Musk’s Great Plan Revealed

Elon Musk’s robot left us all giggling, but may just prove to be the stunt that breaks Tesla. The suspension of disbelief that’s fueled unicorn tech valuations in the face of reality these past many years feels like its breaking-down as reality bites.

So…. Now we know what Elon Musk has really been up to… It’s utterly brilliant…  Distracting and misleading us, hiding his utterly evil plan in plain sight, he’s built up the world’s most dangerous AI-driven Robotics company, a means of controlling the whole planet, and now he about to launch his legions of killer ‘bots upon us with promises they can’t travel faster than 5 mph.

M’wa-haha.. As global domination plans go, its all coming together rather nicely.

Silly us. Here we were thing thinking Tesla was just an overpriced car company, SpaceX launched rockets, Star-Link was a broadband provider, his mind-machine link devices were fascinating but irrelevant, and the brand new all-singing, all-dancing Tesla Bot will relieve us of the tedium of physical work.

I can see it now. Armies of Elon-Bots flying in on Space X rockets directed by Musk’s brain-waves carried instantaneously around the globe by Starlink, and all facilitated by Telsa’s unmatched automated driving AI, all of which will crush mankind beneath its plastic heal. (If I could work out the role of hyperloop-tunnel digging Boring-Company in this – for it surely does – then I might fully comprehend how Musk’s domination of the planet is nearly complete.) It reads like a Matrix reboot.

James Bond or Dr Evil? The latter. It’s not real. None of it is. (continue reading)
