Bloomberg Tech
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

Well, I think on the car side, nothing of surprise.

Bloomberg Tech
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

Marge is a lot better than we expected, but that's only from higher production.

Bloomberg Tech
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

But what's really interesting for us is really now Elon Musk has been talking a lot about rolling out RoboTaxi.

Bloomberg Tech
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

It was just talk.

Bloomberg Tech
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

But now it's kind of codified.

Bloomberg Tech
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

in the presentation now, that they're going to roll out in nine cities beyond Austin.

Bloomberg Tech

So I think a lot of the investors are expecting the timeline of that scaling up on RoboTaxi, and I think we're seeing that.

Bloomberg Tech
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

Yeah, I mean, I think the fact that he's putting the plan on paper says a lot from my perspective.

Bloomberg Tech
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

It's not just talk anymore.

Bloomberg Tech
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

He's making a big commitment to the investors.

Bloomberg Tech
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

And that's what the investors are expecting.

Bloomberg Tech
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

So, yeah, nine cities, mostly down south.

Bloomberg Tech
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

I think the rollout will continue to be slow.

Bloomberg Tech
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

I mean, Tesla is a big name.

Bloomberg Tech
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

They don't have much room to make a mistake, so they're going to take it slow.

Bloomberg Tech
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

They're probably going to have safety drivers in those cities initially, similar to what Waymo has done, and then start removing those safety drivers once they gain confidence.

Bloomberg Tech
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

But at the end of the day, the point is we're expecting scaling up of that business and to drive a new revenue stream for the company.

Bloomberg Tech
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

And it looks like it's happening sooner than later now.

Bloomberg Tech
Instant Reaction Earnings Roundup: Microsoft, Meta & Tesla Deliver Results

Yeah, you guys talked a little bit about the $2 billion investment in XAI.

Bloomberg Tech

It totally makes sense for me because, look, Grok is starting to be integrated into Tesla vehicles, especially in the navigational.
