I think that's the point here: it is now starting to compete at least on a cost basis.
Nonsense. It is still in the proof of concept phase: https://gizmodo.com/behind-the-hype-of-lab-grown-meat-1797383294

“There has been a lot of news coverage for almost seven years now, even in times when there wasn’t a lot of new things going on,” Mark Post, Professor of Vascular Physiology at Maastricht University in the Netherlands, co-founder of Mosa Meat and creator of the first cultured hamburger, told Gizmodo. “It seems a bit excessive. It’s either one way or the other. It’s negative for reasons that are not traceable but there’s no particular evidence, it’s just feelings, or it’s very positive which is more related to high expectations and wishful thinking. The reality is that we don’t have a product yet. It’s taking quite some time and there are still hurdles to overcome on getting there.”

You need to separate the marketing hype provided by Musk-like entrepreneurs from the reality.
