This. They’ll shut down for retooling, open up to churn out a small number of robots that do nothing, and claim success while firing most of the staff.
Well the contract he signed for ~$1 trillion by 2035 specifies he has to deploy 1 million robots and 1 million robo-taxis. Which I can see happening.
The issue I see with it is he has to get Tesla car deliveries up to 20 million a year. To put that into perspective, new car sales in the U.S. has never hit 20 million vehicles that I know of. Globally I just saw their sales were at less than 2 million.
So chopping the $80,000+ models and keeping the ~$40,000 models that make up 97% of their sales makes sense. He needs something that will gather a lot of new sales, and there aren’t mass amounts of people with $100k to buy a new car.

My bet is on him selling cars to himself somehow
Nah, he’ll have the government buy them as fleet cars.
SpaceX are ‘buying’ all the Cyber Trucks no-one wants.
Weren’t local police departments looking at the cyber truck, ran trials, and said lol, no thanks
At least they ran trials. I feel the federal gov’t would just buy the shit with our taxes.
The federal government is essentially buying them up when space x does it. Since that’s where space x gets most of its money.
Good point ($1 million x $100,000 for cars)+($1 million x 500,000 for robots) is still less than a trillion $.
No?
