At the cusp of the AI era, with its many exciting possibilities, unfortunately, the world still has to contend with digital exclusion and environmental sustainability. What if Elon Musk’s Tesla, the pioneering electric vehicle manufacturer, were to disrupt the smartphone industry? Imagine Tesla developing affordable, high-quality smartphones leveraging Starlink’s satellite broadband service for under $100. The potential benefits would be profound. Affordable smartphones could bridge the digital divide, enabling millions to access essential services, education, and economic opportunities, fostering global connectivity. Tesla’s focus on innovation and sustainability might lead to groundbreaking features prioritizing user experience, environmental responsibility, and social impact.
