Elon Musk Funds Early Ideas for Fast Scaling Unlike Chinese Rivals
Chinese competitors instead focus on scaling established innovations from 1 to 100.
A post from @teortaxesTex is circulating on X with a broad claim about Elon Musk's edge over Chinese competitors: that they take ideas from 1 to 100, while he takes them from "0.5 to 100" by funding things before they are fully proven. The post is the core source here, and there is not yet enough public evidence to treat that framing as a settled fact. For now, the clearest read is what was claimed, who made it public, and what still needs confirmation.

The difference between Elon Musk and his Chinese competitors is that they do 1 to 100 and he does *0.5 to 100*. He just repeatedly finds and funds these things that have never been pushed to 1.0 but then would scale fast In a sense, he's history's greatest treasure hunter
