Is that a fake tweet? If not, what is he even talking about here? Starship, a cargo rocket, is going to be delivering… electricity… to orbit? And we have have to ship that electricity off the moon with a rail gun/mass driver?
Exactly how does elon think electricity works? Is he planning on shipping the electrons directly, or in a convenient chemical storage tank? And if the latter, does that mean hes just loading starship with extremely heavy low energy density batteries? And wtf does AI have to do with any of this?
The solution is simple. Nuclear. If you want to go sci-fi or are willing to wait about a hundred years, well start getting solar powered satellites that beam their energy through microwaves back down to Earth, or more likely to an orbiter that massively tones it down then sends it to mulitple power farms on the ground since you dint want a cosmic microwave death ray pointing directly at Earth.

Nuclear is cool, but I like the independence solar panels bring to individuals :)
True. We should we able to run our own personal reactors. I read a few wikipedia articles, I’m sure I could manage it.
