    We’ll be lucky if it goes that smooth. Usually the whole thing at least partially collapses, followed by is a few hundred years of dark age to sort things out and then rebuilding starts with a new system in place for another go.

      Personally, I’m counting on Zephram Cochran flagging down some Vulcans to help us out. Rebuilding should take 100 years tops

        What if Cochran turns out to be a drunk disillusioned Musk in this timeline?

          Wasn’t he kinda in that timeline? But he had Lilly to keep him in line, and I wouldn’t want to cross her!

            He was a selfish drunk, but he had the spirit where it counts. Musk has no spirit, hes just a man child.

              Hmmm… true… I dunno. I think Cochran really changed his tune when he met the Vulcans and it was supposed to be symbolic of the change humanity would undergo.

              But would Musk undergo the same change? Eh, you’re right: I doubt he would be so altruistic under the same circumstances.
