>>you think Musk thinks a global nuclear war is imminent?
Yes, there is a strong possibility of a major war with China sometime during the 21st century. Even if you think this is unlikely, just how unlikely do you feel comfortable with? One in five chance of war is like playing russian roulette with the fate of humanity. Even a relatively small chance of war is suicidal bad odds. We can't afford to take any unnecessary chances with this.

The war is less likely if America stays far ahead in the arms race. Brilliant Pebbles would not be enough to ""win"" a nuclear war, but it might be enough to avoid one in the first place by maintaining America's strategic lead.
