Tesla

We haven't even done them yet, but there's a lot of argument and distress around them, and I think probably some misunderstanding.

But without question, when you see the energy use of the big data centers that are already running in America, it is kind of like a million Teslas charging-

Mm.

Mm.

Yeah.

You, you drive your Tesla now.

How long have you been driving your Tesla?

Like six years.

Six years, right? Okay.

Well, how do you feel about your Tesla now compared to how you felt about it in the first six weeks of having that car?

Definitely a lot different.

I still love the car.

Cameras in the mirrors, radar in the bumper, parking sensors, lane assist, all that stuff does in theory help make the car safer, but it also makes the car itself more fragile and expensive to fix because after a collision, every one of those sensors has to be recalibrated, which costs a lot of time and a lot of money.

There are a lot of these photos of, I think, mostly Teslas, but that's just because they are the most modern cars out there right now, where you just see a minor accident happening, and then suddenly the car is totaled.

And it looks completely fine, to be honest.

There's just some, you know, cameras that were hit, and even that can total a car by now.

Consider the iPhone debuted in 07.

Teslas didn't even, they were a couple years from existing.

No Harry Potter movies had hit theaters.

No Lord of the Rings movies were out.

SpaceX is currently preparing for what's expected to be the largest IPO in history, with a target valuation as high as $1.75 trillion.

To put that in perspective, that's larger than Meta or Tesla, and it would comfortably unseat Saudi Aramco for the title of the biggest stock market debut of all time.

The offering is expected to see massive demand from retail investors, who have up until now been unable to invest as the company's private.

Now, in the aerospace world, there's a very important distinction between astronomy and astrology.

Musk's explanation for the merger, delivered in a press release that reads like the script of a low-budget sci-fi epic, is that we need to build orbital data centres to extend the light of consciousness to the stars.

He argues that space-based AI is the only way to scale because space is called space for a reason.

It's a move that mirrors the SolarCity merger from 2016, where Musk used Tesla's balance sheet to bail out a struggling solar company he also happened to own.

As Bloomberg's Matt Levine pointed out, the innovation engine here isn't just about rockets.
