✨🤖 Elon Musk's true economic vision was on display at 'We, Robot'

Computer + clean energy + entrepreneurship is his techno-capitalist formula for an abundant tomorrow, not degrowth scarcity

The newsy bits of the Tesla "We, Robot" event last night were probably the company's unveiling of its first fully autonomous vehicle, the Cybercab, alongside the larger Robovan. Also, I guess, the humanoid robot bartenders. This is all part of Tesla's strategic shift towards robotics and AI, including a competitive robotaxi service. CEO Elon Musk claimed that robots and self-driving cars could push Tesla's market value to at least $30 trillion, nearly 40 times its current valuation. From the WSJ: “Musk said he hopes to sell billions of these robots, which he compared with R2-D2 and C-3PO, characters in the Star Wars films.”
