Hilariously, the quote that comes to my mind when reading about this monstrosity, is one from Steve Jobs "Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were n…

Maybe I'm missing something, but where do they show up in the financial results ? They are yet to start paying this debt no ?

Did you actually read the S-1 ? Tesla is mentionned 87 times. And even they explicitly state that they have strategic collaboration. They supposedly biggest projects are developped…

What would be interesting to know how much did it cost xAI to build it ? Ai says between $18-$40 billion to just build, without running cost, but no idea how close to reality this …

So be it. What's the alternative ? Continue a bubble ? Ride on the 'FSD by the end of the year' or 'thousands of Optimus next year' for the next 10 years ? The guys is openly lying…

Finally ! Can we end the debate about how mind blowingly profitable this company is ? Mind you, those numbers don't take into account YET the Twitter debt / xAI merger burden - whi…

Another very funny 'fact' - Tesla Semi. If you look at their quarterly releases: - until 2025 it was listed as Pilot Production - in Q1 2025 it moved to Construction - in Q4 2025 i…
