Elon is talking about using robots to build a mass accelerator on the moon in support of an economy 1000x to 1 million times the current earth economy. It's a bad sci fi novel not an earnings call.

10/ We are told disinformation is what other countries do to us. Here it is coming from our own government, aimed at our neighbors, funded by our tax dollars, and barely disclosed on purpose. Keep watching these networks, keep naming them, and keep sharing the receipts.
