My hope for America is once Optimus robots are up and running, have 1-2 legions worth work 24/7 setting up a huge farm in Arizona, then creating an energy transition line to the east coast.

It sounds crazy, but given the rate of advancements in robots and the fact that solar panels are already mass manufactured, why isn’t this feasible in 2 years?

Are solar panels still being produced in the U.S.? I thought we strangled that golden goose.

Setting up huge installations in the desert is already nearly labor-free. Anyway this article is about small installations.

Yeah if Musk now clears his head, gives up politics, enters his villain redemption arc and focuses on something he's actually good at - making technology wonders happen through the force of will, workforce manipulation, trial and error and duct tape - it might happen.
