AI means Automobile Industry. Right? Right?!?

Sure, and the cyber truck can be used as a flotation device.

I believe it's a device to remove all the oxygen from the local environment and convert it all into iron oxide. It's actually a remarkably effective. It even has wheels for easy transport.

Great...the company known for running cars into EMS vehicles at 80mph is focusing on AI. This will turn out fine.

I saw a cyber truck in person for the first time this week. One thing I can say with certainty is that they are definitely NOT a truck company.

Makes sense. It sure as shit didn't have any real intelligence.

I thought xAI was the ai company.

The company's profit and loss sheets back that up—Tesla was spending heavily on GPUs from Nvidia rather than on new car lines, although that was followed by news that Musk has had many of those GPUs redirected to his social media company X.

So, let me get this straight... Tesla, a publicly owned company, of which Musk is an employee (and major shareholder) is buying GPUs to be used by Twitter/X, a privately held company of which Musk is the owner?

How is that not embezzlement?

By sheer weight of his wealth spent on bribes here and there.

Good fucking point

Is he getting desperate because Tesla is down 20% in a month?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Elon could have spun off Tesla’s AI (FSD) into a separate company or created a new AI company that Tesla uses for their FSD. Instead, he’s pivoting Tesla, a fairly successful, if troubled car company that uses AI, away from producing cars. Why? I mean, this is consistent with his firings and division layoffs, but it seems like a dumb decision from the board’s/investors point of view.

Is tesla a fairly successful car company? Or is it an overvalued piece of shit memestock?

To pump up the stock with the next hype train now that reality is catching up to EV production.
