Elon is weaving this technology vision around it all, but it's fundamentally being driven by finance, real cold hard logic here.
Put it this way, in his entire existence, he probably raised $25 billion, roughly $10 billion through SpaceX, $15 billion through Tesla.
now looking at raising 75 billion in one go he's looked around he's seen this ai mania on wall street this willingness to fund hundreds of billions of dollars of infrastructure and he said this is my big chance and he's rammed everything together and he's going big i mean this is this is just incredible where all the dice so the valuation i've got no idea i'll leave that one to rob i'll leave that to you guys you're the market experts
