Modern Wisdom
#1082 - Eric Jorgenson - The Wild Psychology of Elon Musk

Thinking that the autonomy curve is there, and he talks about this being one of the biggest markets of all time, and that Optimus is even bigger.

Modern Wisdom
#1082 - Eric Jorgenson - The Wild Psychology of Elon Musk

He's also now, I think this is underrated because it's a

not a consumer product, but they are building an unbelievable amount of batteries, which is powering the kind of like solar to battery grid conversion, which is going to speed up energy that drives all the compute for the AI revolution.

And then there's a whole nother kind of, they are backwards vertically integrated.

Modern Wisdom
#1082 - Eric Jorgenson - The Wild Psychology of Elon Musk

They're producing, they've just built a new lithium refinery.

#1082 - Eric Jorgenson - The Wild Psychology of Elon Musk

And so they're like, we are supply constrained in many cases.

Modern Wisdom
#1082 - Eric Jorgenson - The Wild Psychology of Elon Musk

And so they're like working backwards further and further into their supply chain.

Modern Wisdom
#1082 - Eric Jorgenson - The Wild Psychology of Elon Musk

Yeah.

Modern Wisdom
#1082 - Eric Jorgenson - The Wild Psychology of Elon Musk

He did say he thinks Tesla is going to have a factory on the moon, which like, I don't know.

Modern Wisdom
#1082 - Eric Jorgenson - The Wild Psychology of Elon Musk

It's either going to be one of the biggest markets of all time that totally like breaks the economy and ushers in this crazy era of abundance.

#1082 - Eric Jorgenson - The Wild Psychology of Elon Musk

But I think it'll be slow adoption just because people are slow to adopt things that are in particular when they're like in the uncanny valley.

#1082 - Eric Jorgenson - The Wild Psychology of Elon Musk

So commercial uses, I think there'll be like a ton of them in factories and stuff like that.

Modern Wisdom
#1082 - Eric Jorgenson - The Wild Psychology of Elon Musk

But also some of the robotics engineers come in and say like humanoid is...
