Allow me to recommend the book "The Eco Technic Future." I'll be posting a review of it on my substack soon. What's happening right now are massive multi-generational forces in action. The transition to new modes of being is going to bring a lot of changes, but will be necessary. Localization of production is possible with 3D printing and solar panels. Simultaneously mass scale communications can permit extreme degrees of vertical integration and centralization. I think that Elon wants independence from the larger system for his companies just as each of us wants independence from the larger system as well. When the world hates you, go build your own and all that. I think it'll be absolutely critical, going forward to identify methods of independent integration that function in concert with localized production.
It's going to be an interesting future. The author of Eco Technic future would describe the phase we're moving toward as "scarcity industrialism."

Thank you very much for the recommendation, I grabbed it already.
epub and audio. It will be perfect for my gym sessions :)
Review of it went live on my substack. Take a look when you get the chance. https://alwaysthehorizon.substack.com/p/book-review-an-ecotechnic-future
