John Deere & SpaceX , a match made in hell.

Hopefully the world will end before they spice up their marriage and extend the offer to Tesla.

Technically it makes some sense, but most of the push is because for more "data, intelligence, cloud, AI" in order to get more "value" to big agrobusinesses or anyone who can pay to stay in the party.

Agriculture is already a massive business only a few gigantic corporations can be in. The old romantic notion of the family farm has been dying at a rapid pace in the last few decades, also, monocultures to the max!

My ironic comments are mostly due to the way John Deere does business almost perfectly align with Musk's recipe for Tesla and SpaceX to an extent.

The blindingly brightness of this future is so bleak at the same time.

Perfect. Now we'll need a DMCA exemption to repair your own spacecraft.

In this case more like, your Tractor will stop unless it can acquire a Starlink satellite over the horizon....

They're clearly just preemptively establishing planetary DRM so that the Martians can't use our own tools against us.
