Ex-Tesla President: The Unconventional Ideas Behind Tesla's Hypergrowth

And so now I tell our teams, like, we cannot see through the other side, but we can get a hint of where this stuff is going to go if you think creatively.

Ex-Tesla President: The Unconventional Ideas Behind Tesla's Hypergrowth

And so that's the thing I'm most excited about.

My First Million

Like, we're going to have entrepreneurial opportunities like crazy over the next few years based on what this technology is going to unleash.

My First Million

I love that story.

Well, now we've got intelligence that is so rapid and non-latent, so you can solve problems way faster that are really complex.

Ex-Tesla President: The Unconventional Ideas Behind Tesla's Hypergrowth

So one of the businesses that we've got that I'm most excited about is we pulled a team out of Tesla that built the supply chain automation platform at Tesla, which is super sophisticated and way beyond anything anybody had in the industry.

And they built this with ML in like 2017-ish.

And we said, how would you like to build it today in AI?

My First Million
Ex-Tesla President: The Unconventional Ideas Behind Tesla's Hypergrowth

And what AI allows that team to do is solve a super complex problem really quickly, but also use agentic AI to understand the workflows of their clients super rapidly.

So they just went into one of the biggest grocery delivery platforms in the country.

My First Million
Ex-Tesla President: The Unconventional Ideas Behind Tesla's Hypergrowth

I don't think I can say which one yet publicly, but it's one of their newer customers.

My First Million

And their agents could go in and understand the work rules of that ginormous platform within hours.

My First Million
Ex-Tesla President: The Unconventional Ideas Behind Tesla's Hypergrowth

And then design a system and a workflow within hours that you really have to have two special things to be able to do.

My First Million
Ex-Tesla President: The Unconventional Ideas Behind Tesla's Hypergrowth

You have to be expert in that particular thing, which is supply chain optimization, to know which rules are good, which rules are bad, what to tell your agents to do, etc.,

My First Million
Ex-Tesla President: The Unconventional Ideas Behind Tesla's Hypergrowth

And then you have to be able to judge, okay, what these agents are bringing back is correct, or it needs to be tweaked or redirected or whatever.

Ex-Tesla President: The Unconventional Ideas Behind Tesla's Hypergrowth

So you definitely have these humans who have got AI as exoskeleton, like super strength, that are now building a business that's growing like a rapid fire because it's got this incredible commute to compute, to actually fuel.

the business and deliver value back to the customer way faster than you could otherwise.

My First Million
Ex-Tesla President: The Unconventional Ideas Behind Tesla's Hypergrowth

What they're competing against is standard ERP systems that take nine to 12 months to implement, and they can implement in a period of days and deliver that value back.

My First Million
Ex-Tesla President: The Unconventional Ideas Behind Tesla's Hypergrowth

And that's the kind of business I think we're going to see more and more and more of as this capability is unleashed.

My First Million
Ex-Tesla President: The Unconventional Ideas Behind Tesla's Hypergrowth

I haven't either, and I haven't heard the case for why we do that is compelling enough to me.
