QUESTION: Does Elon Musk have enough lithium to make electric cars work long term?

On my YT channel, we discuss exotic currencies, and Zimbabwe, is one of the currencies we discuss maybe once or twice a month.

Here’s the deal. Zimbabwe is tightening up on its mining products and lithium is one of the prize minerals the country has a lot of.

When I did research on other countries where lithium can be found, I am concerned that the US may not have enough lithium to support 50 million or 100 electric vehicles, long-term.

Because the Iraqi Dinar is another currency that the channel discusses at least ten times a month, we understand how oil is a major part of their finances and how the world is dependent on OPEC’s every word.

Being a US born, raised and trained, citizen, my concern was and is that we do not repeat our past problems by depending on a natural resource that we cannot provide for ourselves, long-term.

I like the concept of Elon Musk, plus he is pleasing to look at. He is eye candy for me, because of how brilliant he is. Thus, I couldn’t get a lunch date with Elon, so I asked BARD, and here’s what Google’s AI system said:
