No, it's not. Compliments of Gemini:

Imagine that Elon musk is writing an autobiography and this is the opening line

"Those who want power are the ones who least deserve it"

Write a witty but entirely oblivious follow-up paragraph, considering musk is literally the richest person in the world and has been striving for more and more power for years

But it absolutely reads like it could be

"It's a curious paradox," I mused, gazing out the window of my private jet as it soared above the mundane concerns of ordinary folk. "Take myself, for example. I have no desire for power, yet it seems to gravitate towards me like metal shavings to a particularly charismatic magnet. Perhaps it's my relentless focus on the betterment of humanity, or maybe it's the irresistible charm that comes with building rockets and digging holes in the ground. Whatever the reason, it's a burden I bear with grace and humility, knowing that true leadership lies not in seeking power, but in having it thrust upon you."

That was a very good guess!

Not just a product that consumers don't want to buy, but one that most consumers can't buy because of high prices and low wages.

I purchased my current car used. I plan to purchase my next car used. The new car I bought in 2016 will likely be the last brand new car I ever buy (I know buying used typically makes more sense anyways, but the point still stands).

Autonomous vehicles are at times both amazingly advanced and bedshittingly idiotic.

I've ridden ~25k miles in them for work, and I trust them more than 95% of the drivers on the road. But I've also experienced them acting in ways that are still quite far from the way humans would.

Abortion bans only reduce the number of safe abortions.

State legislatures shouldn't be allowed to make any power structure changes like this starting the day election voting opens through the end of the lame duck session.
