It's not going to happen folks.

We have a ban on mining raw rare Earth materials here in the U.S. that are used to make the phones, and the taxes alone would make Musk think twice.

All the smartphones are made in China or Taiwan. All Google or Apple execs have to do is make one phone call ordering them not to make Musk phones or they're pulling out.

That's not how i works.
SpaceX was already working on a satellite smartphone with T Mobile, even before Musk took over Twitter. There was a Musk event with the T mobile CEO a few months back.
As for contractors to make a smartphone, they are a dime a dozen and not just in China.
Smartphones are made in India, Korea and other Asian countries as well.

Just like the “Trust Sessions” nonsense you spouted here years ago.
I would not bet against Musk.
But then again, you have a History of making wrong predictions.
If Musk decides to do it, he will find away to make it work.
And remember EEE, “Trust Sessions”.
