Not a single actual quote from Elon in this article. Does anyone know what he actually said? Because the title states it as a definitive while the excerpts sound more like he was just floating the idea out loud.
- “It’s the only way I can think of to combat vast armies of bots,” explained Musk.
  
  I mean specifically the bit about "X will..." as if it is a fact.
  
  Yeah that’s true. The headline is asserting something that I don’t think Musk has actually said he will do. On the other hand, I’m having trouble thinking of any random idea Musk has had that he didn’t attempt to follow through on.
  
  Not if they're funded by deep pockets like with governments and corporations.
