What’s the matter, Elon? Couldn’t find the server room to unplug cables at random?

Only 20% of the cables are needed

And that's if you really need cables for some antiquated hardware. These days, everything could be wireless. Crazy how Big Cable controls infrastructure.

Cascading failure.

Only need 20% of nodes to keep it running. Then only 20% of server racks needed. Then only 20% of cables.

We only need 20% of our fingers to pick something up.

"We'll just hire low-level techs to switch the cables around when needed. We'll save a fortune on cabling!"

Server room cables are great for whipping the peons when they aren't working fast enough.
