Tesla owns the full physical AI stack - Manufacturing as its CPU, real estate its storage, and logistics its network. Kalanick just laid out why every robotics, autonomy, or energy play now answers the same question Google startups once did: why won’t Tesla just do it? *** thanks to... show more

SpaceX just filed to go public at $2 trillion. Because it owns the lowest-cost path to orbit and the fastest-growing global internet network on Earth. Starship drops the price per kilogram by 30–300×. That changes everything that touches space, energy, compute, and logistics. The real story is what comes next: the convergence with Tesla and xAI into a single vertically integrated machine. *** thanks to David Carbutt and team for the edit

Uber fouinder, Travis Kalanick just flagged the dominant force in the coming physical AI age. That's Tesla. In every tech era, there is one company that investors fear. In the past, startups died because Google or Uber could add a feature and erase a competitor’s value. Today, Tesla holds that same intimidating position in the realm of robotics and physical automation. "When you look at the PHysical AI stack, you’re like, "Damn, Tesla’s got this." They are the Google of this era." --- From 'All-In Podcast' YT channel (link in comment)

🚨 Uber vs Tesla: the risk most people miss Cern Basher says Uber’s edge is its driver network, but that matters less as autonomy scales! Tesla owns the cars, the AI (9B+ miles), and is building its own ride network with Cybercab. As self-driving grows, power shifts to those who control the full system. So who really wins in the long run? $TSLA $UBER

Travis Kalanick: Tesla is the Google of the Physical AI Era “I like to break down the physical AI stack: (it) includes computation, a physical AI model, all the things you think of.” “What about land? Development? That should be in that stack. What about chemistry? That needs to be in the stack. Manufacturing needs to be a stack.” “When you look at the stack, you're like, ‘Damn, Tesla's got this sh*t.’ They are the Google of this era.” “What I mean by that is, if you were doing a startup in the 2000s, the first question you would get is, ‘Why isn't Google gonna kill you?’ Or, ‘Why isn't Google just gonna do it?’ They’re not even gonna know that they killed you.” “And before that, it was Microsoft in the late 90s. Uber had a time, 2010s.” “But in the physical AI space, that's sort of a Tesla thing.” -------------------------------------------- Thanks to our partner for making this happen!: EY (EY) Austin vibes meet AI innovation.

Uber founder Travis Kalanick just identified the sovereign monopoly of the physical AI era. The software-only era is over. The next multi-trillion-dollar monopoly requires commanding the entire physical reality of the board. Kalanick: “I like to break down the physical AI stack. Includes not just computation, physical AI models, all the things you think of. What about land? Development? That should be in that stack. What about chemistry? That needs to be in the stack. Manufacturing needs to be in the stack.” Building a neural network is no longer enough. You have to physically manufacture the shell it lives in. You can’t dominate the physical universe with code alone. The winners are vertically integrating the entire atom-based supply chain. Your AI company doesn’t own the land, the chemical refinement, and the heavy manufacturing? You don’t own the stack. You’re renting space on someone else’s physical grid. Kalanick: “When you look at the stack, you’re like, ‘Damn, Tesla’s got this shit.’ They are the Google of this era.” Every decade produces a single algorithmic apex predator that captures the board. 90s: Microsoft. 2000s: Google. 2010s: Uber. Now: Tesla. Kalanick: “In the 2000s, if you were doing a startup, the first question you would get is, ‘Why isn’t Google gonna kill you?’” The sovereign entity doesn’t just compete. It creates an environment where your survival is mathematically impossible. Building a robotics or physical AI company today? If you don’t have a physics-based answer for why Tesla won’t crush you while optimizing their own supply chain, your execution loop is already dead. Kalanick: “They’re not even gonna know that they killed you.” The most dangerous force on the board is not the competitor who wants to destroy you. It’s the engine so massive it deletes your entire business model by accident. When a hyper-scaled operator controls the chemistry, the manufacturing, the land, and the compute, their velocity flattens everything in their path. They don’t need to target your startup. Routine optimization of their physical execution grid will wipe you out as collateral damage. The only way to survive is to build something so fundamentally unique it sits completely outside the blast radius. Because Tesla isn’t competing in the physical AI space. They already own it.

Steven Crowder just laid out what millions of Canadians still refuse to admit. Alberta has the resources, the people, the energy, and the economic strength to stand on its own. The real question is not whether Alberta can leave. It is why Alberta keeps staying.

Half the West calls him a villain. History will call him the only person alive who has simultaneously rebuilt transportation, energy, space, telecom, AI, neuroscience, and robotics.

🚀 Just sat down with Farzad 🇺🇸 🇮🇷 for one of the most insightful conversations I’ve had in a while. Farzad is a former Tesla leader, author of Abundance or Collapse, and one of the clearest thinkers on AI, robotics, and energy. We went deep on: Why Tesla’s “chaos” is actually its biggest strength The powerful AI + Robotics + Energy flywheel Robotaxi economics and when profitability hits Optimus, the future of work, and the Barbell Effect His bold ideas on government, term limits, and removing income tax Why he walked away from Tesla to go fully independent This one is full of first-principles thinking and real optimism about what’s coming. Watch the full episode below 👇

ATOMS is effectively making the opposite bet to Sequoia. Sequoia’s thesis is that AI companies will move beyond selling software seats and start selling completed work, capturing the much larger services and labor budget. In that model, AI becomes the worker: the company produces the legal analysis, customer-support resolution, accounting work, or marketing output. Kalanick believes the bigger opportunity is not replacing knowledge workers through AI services. It is using AI, robotics, sensors, manufacturing, real estate, and transportation to digitize entire physical industries. ATOMS wants to build what he calls “atoms-based computers,” where manufacturing is the CPU, real estate is storage, and transportation is the network. That difference matters because an AI services company can be commoditized when foundation models learn to perform its task directly. ATOMS intends to own the physical infrastructure, deployments, operational data, supply chains, and regulatory relationships required to produce and move real things. Better AI should therefore make ATOMS more efficient rather than eliminate the company. So Kalanick is trying to prove that the next enormous AI companies will not simply sell work instead of software. They will use software to control the physical economy. Sequoia says services are the new software. Kalanick is betting that the physical world is.

The first phase of Tesla's planned fab is bigger than the entire CHIPS Act budget. The AI5 chip that just taped out won't be sold to anyone outside Tesla. This is the part of vertical integration that NVIDIA can't price into its forward guidance. *** Thank you David Carbutt for the edit.

🚀 Elon Musk has confirmed STARMIND as the name of SpaceX's future AI satellite network. FutureAzA says this is just one piece of a much bigger strategy. SpaceX is rapidly building an AI compute business, with reported customers including Google, Anthropic, and Reflection AI. The Reflection agreement alone is reportedly worth up to $6.3 billion through 2029. At the same time, Tesla continues expanding its energy business with a 25 GWh storage agreement through NatPower and a new partnership with Sunrun and Renew Home to help power AI infrastructure. AI, energy, compute, and space are starting to come together into one ecosystem. The more you zoom out, the more connected Tesla and SpaceX begin to look. $TSLA $SPCX

Tesla just reported Q1 earnings. The headline numbers looked fine. But the real story is buried underneath. Revenue: ~$22B (+16% YoY). Adjusted EPS beat. Free cash flow positive. But $TSLA is down today. Here's why. Energy generation and storage revenue fell ~12%. Vehicle deliveries came in lighter than expected. Competition is intensifying globally. Especially from Chinese players $BYDDY and $XIACY. And Musk used the earnings call to go all-in on Tesla's future as an AI and robotics company. Which begs the question: has the car thesis lost its va-va-vroom?

And whether their AI also did reasoning or not is somewhat secondary to that first part” Tesla has a complete end-to-end AI stack powered by real-world data, massive training infrastructure, vertically integrated hardware and software, and continuous deployment across its fleet
