      I don’t think auto-scaling can scale to resources that don’t exist. Besides, I’m not sure how many people with both the competence and the spine to advise Musk when he’s doing A Stupid again still remain at the company.

          Oh absolutely, provided you’re versed enough to understand the resource limitations, the need to prepare scaling solutions and have the willingness to admit that your in-house resources might not be enough. I’m not confident Musk ticks any of these boxes, let alone all of them.

          And a competent team can only do so much. He ripped out data center servers, against his competent sysadmins’ advice.

          AWS can scale quite a bit but they don’t do it for free.

          Given all the cuts I’m doubtful they’re willing to pay the price
