If Elon Musk has his will, they could soon be able to stop in a diner in the Tesla brand of the 1950s in the style of the 1950s to load their electric vehicle while eating American comfort foods that are served by a humanoid robot.
The right-wing extremist Tech-Tycoon proposed in his social network X on Monday when he had the idea of expanding Tesla’s newly opened restaurant in Los Angeles into a nationwide network.
“If our retro futuristic dinner goes out well, what I think will create Tesla in big cities around the world and on supercharger sites on telescopes,” said Musk. “An island with good food, a good mood and entertainment as it charges!”
Musk, who is currently valued as the richest person in the world, has a long history in which he makes ambitious promises for new services or products that never really pay off.
Nevertheless, at least one Tesla Diner is now open on the Santa Monica Boulevard in Hollywood and has 32 fast charging stations, balcony restaurants and two 45-foot LED film screens, which synchronize with the sound system in Tesla cars.

At a pre-start event on Saturday, customers were even served by a prototype from Teslas ‘Optimus’ robot popcorn, and probably also from a human employee, as was the case when Tesla demonstrated the bots last October.
“This will be normal in a few years,” said Musk.
On Monday, Musk also said that he would open a second dinner in Starbase, the South Texas Launch Complex, which is operated by his Rocket Company SpaceX.
The idea of a Tesla -Diner has been in progress for years, and Muschus describes it in August 2023 as “Fat meets the Jetsons with charging”. The food is classic American Diner dishes: burgers, hot dogs, milkshakes and fries.
Tesla has suffered a drastic global decline in sales and profits this year, since the competition due to the more favorable brands and political debt by Elon Musk Alliance with President Donald Trump.
After the Mogul donated more than 291 million US dollars to Donald Trump and other Republicans in the election cycle of 2024, he personally took a chainsaw to the federal government departments as an effective leader of Doge.
Since then, Musk has not contributed sharp and very public separation from Trump to improve the company’s share price, which declined up to 42 percent from the beginning of the year before recovering modestly.
