That thing which runs Tesla seems like just the megalomaniac that would let that happen. I have a dark future prediction that he’ll repurpose the gigafactories for drone production. Unless something stops him I don’t see a future where one of his businesses isn’t rededicated to war manufacturing in some way.
Also: I felt thick as hell when I connected Faro and Pharoh.
As another person replied, sounds like the Faro Plague from Horizon Zero Dawn.
