Dunno why the market wasn't thrilled.
Ever the hype man, Musk suggested thinking of SpaceX’s satellites as robots, given that “they’re autonomous and don’t need servicing.” In the not-so-distant future, Musk mused, robots will be used to scale manufacturing on the moon. From there, moon-based robots will enable SpaceX to build a mass accelerator with solar production. Even Musk admitted it all sounded “totally nuts” but claimed that it could lead the company to scale to 1,000x the economy of Earth. From there, factories will be built and robots “will be helpful with that,” Musk added.
“It sounds super sci-fi right now, but it’s going to happen,” he said.
At least reporting on Musk is a bit more skeptical than it used to be, even though his promises actually aren't more ridiculous!
