The big announcement this week was where they're winding down the Model S and Model X, and then they're going to convert those factories to make Optimus.
And so that was huge.
And to me, it's like,
They're fully pivoting away from just being a car company and really embracing the robotics and AI themes.
What's your reaction to that?
Because I saw that too.
And I'm like, this is, I feel like Elon's like doing some big picture play here to kind of just put everything under one roof.
Do you – how do you – what do you think when you hear about all these talks of data centers in space?
And I feel like that was kind of one of the reasons he's trying to do this, potentially do this, is because of data centers in space.
People have talked about how it might be cheaper to launch these data centers in space than build them here in the U.S., and especially with the cost of rocket launches going down thanks to all the innovation that SpaceX does.
By the way, SpaceX, I feel like has the least amount of haters than anyone.
Everyone agrees that SpaceX is just like the most marvelous company out there.
They're just like doing incredible work.
And so I think maybe, you know, when I hear data centers in space, though, that might be a bridge too far, even for me.
Yeah, that news started going around a few months ago, and I'm just like, is this really going to happen?
But when you lay out the case, especially the concerns around prices of energy going up, especially in the US, everyone's kind of worried.
These data centers going into my backyard, that's going to jack up my power bill.
And so putting it in space, unlimited energy.
Now, I'm still like, how do you maintain a data center in space?
All these questions.
