I mean, the scale of transistors in a modern cpu is ~10 nm, so I assume Musk is sending his anti-nano tweets from a UNIVAC 1.

10nm

So what I'm reading here is that the consumer-level transistor is still an order of magnitude away from being true nanotech? Or are we just calling any technology that can be measured in nanometers nanotechology? Because I electroplated a piece of jewelry once, and I'd love to put "nanometallurgist" on my resume.

Not to defend Musk's ego-driven twitter arguments, but he met unnecessary condensation with inflammatory pedanticalness. Hard to pick winners between "genius" idiots that argue on twitter. Unless you're the media that is.
