Right?

Also, Musk has a direct ear to the President, and his Tesla company actually already proved they can stabilize a country and contenent's power needs when they built that huge battery backup facility for Australia (for free) and then paid itself off with the profits in like a year.

This kind of threat is essentially "Don't you dare do that thing you can do to make me completely unnecessary or I'll melt down on social media!"

The melt downs are entertaining though, and I do hope this prompts a huge US battery power stabilization project like Australia's. I'm actually surprised it wasn't already a thing after Texas had some high profile power issues that a battery system could alleviate - but maybe the timing wasn't right and it needed to be international rather than just a state level example before it starts happening.

Battery stabilization would have made Enron's rolling blackouts scam unprofitable way back when, and will definitely threaten power company profits in places like California that are enjoying huge markups.
