Yes, but as Ron Perlman famously said in the beginning of Fallout, "War never changes".
I would be more shocked that we eliminated war than if we achieved this version of Elon's future.
It makes sense to think that we will continue to make scientific progress through war and self defense.
Reason being, nothing is more motivating than wanting to survive
I'm starting to wonder if a person like Elon with his... morals... is who we want to be creating a vision for the future.
behold the paragon of virtue here
Bollocks, by your standards we can't discuss the most vile people because 'nobody's perfect' but there is a huge gap between the likes of Musk and ordinary people.

Sorry guy, but I don't go asking the king of the pedos for a special invite to the best pedo parties. I'm pretty certain I could do all kinds of extremely shady things and still be an order of magnitude more morally sound than Musk. Some of the allegations coming out in the last few days are pretty severe, and that's without looking into the rest of his recent history.
The fact that you're here being snide about it is pretty revealing in itself.
Not to go heads I win, tails you lose, but even if we go down this path - it's the same story because militaries are investing heavily in LLM stuff, both overtly and covertly. Outside of its obvious uses in modeling, data management, and other such things - there also seems to be a fairly widespread belief, among the powers that be, that if you just say the magic words to somebody, that you can make them believe anything. So hyper-scaling LLM potential has direct military application, same as Starlink and Starship.
