Indeed. Musk is a publicity seeking nerd with very questionable ethics......and zero military background.

And they've been saying manned aircraft are not the future since the infamous Sandys Defense White Paper in the 1957.......and guess what, over 60 years later, and we're still not there yet....and I suspect will never be there entirely. UAV's will continue to be an important and more used tool.....but not the only tool.
