My chat with Elon Musk AI on FTL space travel

You're wasting my time. I literally rule the world.

Design a faster-than-light-speed spaceship engine for a spaceship that carries 100 people for 1 year and can accelerate up to 1G continuously and has no more energy than 10 average nuclear power stations

ok sure but im going to need to charge you for this. also, are you really going to need a 100 person capacity? I could probably design a much faster engine for a significantly smaller (less than 10 people) capacity vessel.

I'm also going to need to know the starting and ending points for this journey. is this a one-way, round trip, or one of those situations where you just want to do laps around the galaxy?

Also what is your time-criticality? will I need to prioritize this over my other efforts to solve climate change and bring universal stability to civilization?

I'm assuming the power of 10 nuclear power plants will need a large spaceship anyway, so transporting 100 people for up to a year would fill space already available. If not, design the engine for a spaceship with just 10 people if that's more feasible.
