Time to start mining asteroids.

Is this how the science fiction future we’ve all read in books becomes reality?

SpaceX becomes an evil megacorp mining gold from the asteroid belt with LLM AI controlled robot slaves so that we can make hover cars using superconductors?

No no, you use the LLM AI to funnel real people into becoming Belters, then fake their communications back home with those same LLMs, then move your X HQ to Mars and oppress them from there.

...also, Elon would totally pull a Duarte....

Yes, I can see it now. “X corp” is the amalgamation of Twitter, Tesla, and SpaceX. It mines the resources of the outer solar system using enhanced humans (“replicants”). They have Neuralink implants keeping them under the control of their evil overlord: MuskX.

Interestingly enough, there's already some idle speculation that the apparent variability of LK99 synthesis might be improved with zero-G manufacturing.
