Billionaire investor Peter Thiel says Elon Musk's plan for "a billion humanoid robots in the U.S. in 10 years" collides with the Tesla chief's alarm over ballooning federal deficits, proof, Thiel argues, that Musk hasn't “thought through" the proposition just yet.

What Happened: In a recent New York Times "Interesting Times" interview, Thiel recalled telling his longtime friend, "If that's true, you don't need to worry about the budget deficits because we're going to have so much growth," only to find Musk "still worried about the budget deficits."
