will they care if they have an army of cheap easily replaceable robots with guns?

I miss the star trek visions of the future

now the "good" outcome is a world sized north korea, with elon as ruler

and the bad outcome is the ruler using his army of robots to eliminate the possibility of the peasant revolt once and for all

With what and against what? There will be spy satellites and drones and automated turrets that will turn you to pulp if you come within, say, 50KM of their compound borders.
