People love to write/talk/post about Elon getting things wrong all day long. His biggest achievements look obvious in hindsight yet are rarely matched by contemporaries. xAI's rapid hardware build out is one of them.
Many users praised Elon Musk and SpaceX for bold bets on untested tech and rapid execution in the $920 million monthly Nvidia GPU deal with Google for AI infrastructure.
People don't understand that SpaceX engines will become gas turbines, Tesla battery packs smooth out power supply, and Starlink provides a perfect backbone network for data transfer.
Elon is hard to beat when it comes to any major buildouts in the physical world.

@TobyPhln People basically say Elon is making a big mistake or in serious trouble because of getting Billions from renting out compute. And if any other companies achieve this level of revenue, all the suddenly becomes super great news. Funny how the logic works
@beffjezos Elon has 5 infinity stone SpaceX Tesla Xai Neuralink The Boring company
@beffjezos Gas turbines love those words
@TobyPhln Dude, you should go back work for SpaceX(AI). We miss you.
@beffjezos SpaceX engine are low temperature turbines. That's nothing like gas/jet where the only Carnot winning is high temperature
@beffjezos All of Elon's companies are ultimately one company, and that company will become the "Everything App" of planet Earth.
@beffjezos For physical buildouts, after Elon, the closest second is a country (China), not any individual. That's how good bro really is.
@beffjezos Also interesting:
@TobyPhln Still baffled by it
Also what even was " human emulators" ?
@TobyPhln Ask them to fix just one of the mistakes they claim to see, and their inability will show. Appreciating others' achievements takes a pure and fair heart; finding faults only takes being human.
@TobyPhln gotta double check but I think Google invested 900 million in space x in 2015 and Google probably would be at 111 usd billion on paper next week. I’m wondering why they investing that much? Did they run out of compute? Hmmm
I do. I had something direct I did or tangential to all of these XD. Especially starlink and raptor. Both of which carry something of me still. Battery is about the furthest out I'll admit but I got the cost arbitration game in the early days as soon as it premiered in AUS. But the link is there, through materials and mars
@TobyPhln Elon is the only one that has consistently pulled out these awesome move that looks so obvious in retrospect.
Why would anyone ever doubt the guy?
@beffjezos 🎯
@beffjezos Boring machines will dig tunnels, but I didn’t realize the rocket engines had turbines - cool :)
@beffjezos I don't know he seems to like solar satellites
@TobyPhln people forget that elon's successes aren't just about predicting the future, but also about being willing to bet big on untested tech before others are comfortable enough to join him
@beffjezos We just need X phones now though 😭
@TobyPhln Seeing memy get built out and become operational so fast was one of the highlights of my career. The capability is absolutely unmatched
