Everyone calls these new AI facilities data centres. That's wrong. What Elon Musk built in Memphis — gutting an abandoned refrigerator factory, wiring together 200,000 GPUs in 122 days — is not a data centre. It's an Intelligence Factory. This is the first film in my Industrial Intelligence series.... show more

Mathias Döpfner: Where do you sleep tonight? Elon Musk: Tonight, in the factory. Mathias Döpfner: In the factory? Elon Musk: Well, technically a conference room in the factory. Mathias Döpfner: You sleep in a conference room in the not finished factory tonight. Elon Musk: Yeah, it gives me a good feel for what’s going on. Mathias Döpfner: Alone, or…? Elon Musk: Yeah, I assume so. Is this an invitation? This moment captures Elon’s hands-on style during the Gigafactory Berlin buildout—he was literally crashing on-site to stay immersed.

Elon Musk A.I. factory is harming South Memphis. Memphis is a majority Black-American city, yet this South African immigrant put an A.I. factory in one of the poorest areas in the city. Ppl have been getting sick from poor air quality and cancer rates are high.

Wartime CEO Engaged. "7 days a week sleeping in the factory, No one should put these many hours into work, this is not good, this is very painful, it hurts my brain and my heart." -Elon Musk

Elon Musk is building a training cluster/ supercomputer so vast it’s visible from space. Colossus, in Memphis, Tennessee, is more than an AI experiment. It’s a statement of intent. A million GPUs wired together by the end of this year. A $40 to $60 billion physical bet that brute-force scale will birth the world’s most intelligent AI. This isn’t theory. It’s infrastructure. It’s industrial. And it shows us what the future looks like, not just in capability, but in the sheer energy, capital, and ambition now required to compete at the frontier. Colossus is the embodiment of a new era: Intelligence as utility.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Ask Peter Thiel, ask Elon Musk, ask Mark Zuckerberg, if they want one of these data centers in their own backyard. I was just in Memphis. All within one block, an xAI greywater treatment plant, methane turbines, coal ash, wastewater facilities. Everyone in that area is getting poisoned. This conversation is not just about technology, it's about people's ability to live without getting cancer.

Elon Musk did in 19 days what others take 4 years to accomplish, and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang explains how. In just 19 days, Musk’s team built a massive xAI factory from the ground up, complete with an advanced liquid-cooled infrastructure. This remarkable effort included deploying 100,000 GPUs, creating what is now the fastest supercomputer system on the planet. A project of this scale would typically require 3 years of planning and 1 year of execution. Yet Elon Musk and his team delivered the entire system in under three weeks.

ELON MUSK ANNOUNCED A CHIP FACTORY 10 TIMES THE SIZE OF TESLA'S GIGAFACTORY 🤯 HE CALLS IT THE TERAFAB. THE ENTIRE GLOBAL AI CHIP INDUSTRY IS ON TRACK TO PRODUCE AROUND 100 GIGAWATTS OF COMPUTE PER YEAR. MUSK WANTS A SINGLE FACTORY TO PRODUCE 1 TERAWATT PER YEAR. THAT'S 10X THE OUTPUT OF THE ENTIRE GLOBAL INDUSTRY. THE GOAL? BUILD ENOUGH AI COMPUTE TO POWER ORBITAL DATA CENTERS. MOST PEOPLE THINK IT'S A DECADE AWAY. MUSK THINKS IT STARTS NEXT YEAR. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY.

Just dropped: proof that Gavin Newsom is simply not up to the job. He just promised an ‘expedited’ permit process for rebuilding. 120 days. Elon Musk just BUILT the world’s biggest data center in 122! On Monday I will lay out a REAL plan with the urgency and scale we need.

DYLAN PATEL: ELON BUILT THE WORLD’S LARGEST AI CLUSTER—200K GPUS “Elon got into pre-training large language models late, but he bet everything to catch up. He built the world’s largest AI cluster—200,000 GPUs. He bought a factory in Memphis, upgraded the substation, tapped into a natural gas line, and is burning gas to generate power. Now he’s building his own natural gas plant next door, deploying Tesla megapacks for stable power, and using industrial chillers for water-cooled chips. He’s scaling up fast.” Source: Lex Fridman

Every AI response you've ever gotten started with an electron. ⚡ In a recent interview with Sequoia Capital, Jensen Huang described AI infrastructure as a five-layer cake, and at the very bottom, before chips, before data centers, before models, is energy. That's the binding constraint on the Intelligence Age: not compute, not software — watts. This is why NVIDIA calls AI factories the dynamos of our era. They take in electrons and send out tokens of intelligence. We're a few hundred billion dollars into what Jensen calls the largest infrastructure buildout in human history. Trillions more to go. The question isn't whether AI will scale. It's whether the energy grid can keep up. ⬆️

🚨🇺🇸 THAT’S NOT A TRACTOR, IT’S A 50MW NUCLEAR REACTOR BUILT FOR AI Looks like farm gear, except it’s not. This is a 50 megawatt electric nuclear reactor built start to finish in just two weeks. Purpose-built to feed AI data centers. No concrete dome. No giant facility, it is just one vault holding the whole reactor. Compact. Fast. Powerful. Every part is made in a South Austin factory. Final snap-together happens on-site. This is the new atomic age. And it's already online. Source: Eric M Henrikson

10,000 valid trajectories collected — and we did it ahead of schedule, in just 5 days. We’ve reached our data milestone for "Little Prince's Rose." This community-driven dataset is now entering the pipeline for cleaning, augmentation, and model training, advancing the intelligence of Franka at this very moment. While the Discord role claiming is closing, the experiment will remain open as a welcoming portal for everyone to experience the Axis and how we tackle the data bottleneck for robotics. Robot intelligence is not built by a few; it's built by all.🌹

Elon Musk is attempting something extraordinary. Not just building another company. He is building the largest AI training cluster in the world. A million GPUs wired together. A brute-force attempt to scale intelligence itself. The capital required to do this is staggering. Forty to sixty billion dollars for one cluster. And yet this is just one experiment. This is the scale of ambition in AI right now. It is not about incremental software. It is about rewiring the fundamental limits of what machines can learn and know.

$ELON MUSK: “Think in terms of Kardashev II and the path becomes obvious.” KARDASHEV INTELLIGENCE DOMINANCE: MUSK'S AI ASCENDANCY VISION ELON MUSK: "And if things get to a Kardashev level two, we’re talking about human intelligence. Even assuming a significant increase in human population and intelligence augmentation, like massive intelligence augmentation where like everyone has an IQ of a thousand type of thing. Even in that circumstance, collective human intelligence will be probably 1 billionth that of digital intelligence anyway." This revelation distills Musk's unparalleled grasp of exponential dynamics, framing AI as an unstoppable force eclipsing biological limits. It exposes the profound contradiction between human potential and digital supremacy, philosophically urging symbiotic evolution—ensuring augmented minds contribute meaningfully amid galactic-scale compute. When AI claims the stars, what fraction remains ours? 🧠 Source: Elon Musk fireside chat with Garry Tan, June 2025 — Topic: AI intelligence scaling and Kardashev levels.$

Finally. After 18 months of patience, FSD is officially approved and live in the Netherlands. I’ve been driving with it for 2 days now. And the experience is on another level. It feels like the future unfolding in real time. The precision. The intelligence. The confidence of the system. This is not incremental progress. This is a clear step forward in how mobility works. Huge thanks to Elon Musk and the entire AI team at Tesla. From a professional perspective, this shows what is possible when software, data, and real-world deployment come together at scale. The question is no longer if this will take over. The question is how fast it will expand. This is a turning point. Elon Musk
