Keep digging Musk
In the perfect world it would be a great thing to do. Old enough people should remember SETI screensaver. But we are not living in a perfect world and I would never buy a car and participate in expenses just to make some rich clown even richer.
A botnet on wheels. Now you can't say that's never been tried before I guess. What's next, crypto miners?
That is if that is not his main objective...
Is this guy dumb? He is killing his best asset for pennies?
Yes I mean, have you been living under a rock for the past several years?
Is he going to be paying owners for the use of their hardware? Doubtful.

Eh, at least feudal Lords offered protection from barbarians...
Now I’m imagining the cyber truck finding its purpose running over Barbarians
Very true! Good point! I'm sure Elon would be much happier if we all collectively agreed that he is the new God King lol
And stupid investors will open their wallets for the buffoon
Translation: Elon Musk desperately searches for buzzwords that will boost the stock of his failing company.
Another reason I'm glad I don't have one.
