Crazy or genius...what do you think?

With the DJI ban looming, I believe we need a good drone company to appear in the U.S. But who could come close to topping DJI anytime soon? IMO, Elon Musk can. He has the technology, the money, the ability and desire to innovate, etc. This from Google:

Elon Musk is associated with products from his leading companies: Tesla (electric vehicles like the Model Y and Cybertruck, and solar products), SpaceX (Starlink internet service, Starship for space travel), xAI (the Grok AI chatbot), and previously OpenAI and Zip2. He also founded The Boring Company (tunneling infrastructure) and developed early internet services.

I think he could cobble together a good, high-quality drone with all (or most) of a DJI drone's features and maybe even some new ones. I'd suggest it to him but I don't have his phone number. Anyone know how to contact him?

So is this a good idea or what?

Then you'll get to pay $10000 in advance for an obstacle avoidance feature that's "coming soon", wait 10 years without it ever appearing, and be told that it'll actually need new hardware and not be anywhere as capable as what was advertised when you paid for it anyway

So I guess that's a NO?
