And as much as I would like to write this off as just another weird, horny Muskism, I think it is emblematic of one of the real problems of current tech culture: that the robots and AI we use to ostensibly minimize labor are highly gendered and used to reinforce the patriarchy.
I can’t really tell since I’m looking at this in my phone, but I will recklessly speculate that he used “AI” to generate the food images.
A flying saucer-themed diner COULD work, like a space race relic you’d encounter on some less-traveled-than-it-once-was highway. But it would require human authenticity to create, and Musk lacks any of that.

Glad we can agree on corned beef hash.
This question has already been answered by Obi-Wan Kenobi going to a greasy spoon on Coruscant and it still had the same vibe
Who actually wants any of this, apart from musk himself?
It appears mainstream media is now all over the diner. Discourse ahead of the curve, as usual.
