This monster was magically competent to stand trial the first 14 times but suddenly this time he isn’t competent when he’s facing the death penalty ABSOLUTELY INFURIATING We shouldn’t have to live like this

TESLA'S $2 TRILLION SECRET: THE CARS WERE JUST THE TROJAN HORSE Tesla's stock just hit $450 after years of skeptics calling it overvalued for a "car company." The skeptics were right about one thing: Tesla isn't a car company. It never was. The vehicles were just the data collection devices, the training ground, the Trojan horse for what's actually being built: the world's most advanced real-world AI that's about to make human labor optional. Full Self-Driving V14 just achieved something nobody thought possible: intervention-free drives from Los Angeles to New York. Not on highways with perfect lane markings, but through construction zones, unexpected detours, unmarked rural roads, and Manhattan traffic. Tesla's fleet of 6 million vehicles has been training this AI with billions of miles of real-world data. Every car is a teacher, every drive a lesson, every edge case captured and learned. No other company has this data advantage, and they never will. But here's what Wall Street is finally understanding: the same AI that navigates a two-ton vehicle through chaos can navigate a humanoid robot through a factory, kitchen, or hospital. Optimus, Tesla's humanoid robot, uses identical neural networks, same vision system, same decision architecture. The only difference is legs instead of wheels. When you've solved vision and real-world navigation for cars, you've solved it for everything. The economics are staggering. Tesla's targeting $20,000 per Optimus unit at scale. The global labor force is 3.5 billion people. If Optimus replaces just 10% of human labor, that's 350 million units at $20,000 each: $7 trillion in revenue. Not market cap. Revenue. For context, Apple's total revenue last year was $380 billion. Optimus could generate 18 times that from just partial market penetration. Elon's prediction that Optimus will be bigger than everything else Tesla does combined isn't hyperbole; it's conservative. Cars are a $3 trillion global market. Labor is a $75 trillion market. Every restaurant, warehouse, factory, hospital, and home becomes a potential customer. Unlike cars that sit idle 95% of the time, robots work 24/7. One Optimus could replace three human shifts. The timeline is what nobody expected. Optimus went from stumbling prototype to gracefully running in two years. Tesla's manufacturing expertise means they can scale production faster than anyone. They're already building the factories. By 2027, Elon projects thousands of units. By 2030, millions. This isn't theoretical anymore; it's industrial planning. What investors are really betting on isn't Tesla's ability to make cars or even robots. They're betting that Tesla has solved real-world AI while everyone else is still playing with chatbots. Google's Waymo needs pre-mapped cities and perfect conditions. Tesla's FSD works anywhere, instantly. That's the difference between narrow AI and general intelligence applied to physical tasks. The automotive business was never the destination; it was the funding mechanism and data pipeline for the actual product: artificial general intelligence for the physical world. Every Tesla sold wasn't just a car purchase but an investment in training the AI that will fundamentally restructure human civilization. The owners paid Tesla to build its true product. We're watching the last pivot before everything changes. Tesla's cars proved they could build quality hardware at scale. FSD proved they could solve real-world AI. Optimus will prove they can replace human physical labor. The stock price isn't irrational exuberance; it's the market finally understanding that @Tesla owns the future of work itself.

$TSLA is unprofitable and $GOOG has net profits of $140 billion a year. Waymo technology works. Tesla doesn’t. Tesla runs an unprofitable company with no future. Google has the best and most intelligent people in the world at the company, developing technologies that are bringing in more cash in one quarter, than Tesla’s entire existence. Musk has been wrong about every aspect of Tesla, and ran the company in the ground. The only reason the company survived was Biden and Obama giving tax credits.

To make the math simple, the car on the left is $25k. The car on the right is $150k. That said, the key question in my mind aren’t the design choices each made but how regulators will frame their expectations to have a robust, safe fully autonomous fleet in their city. I suspect, initially, they start with licenses for both. And as they collect data it will be incumbent on Tesla to show their error tolerances are as good or better than Waymo. Otherwise, it creates a lobbying opportunity for Waymo to convince regulators that increasing the BoM helps increase safety for pedestrians and other drivers. And, as such, their design decisions should be mandatory. This is the obvious risk. That said, what’s non obvious are the other players who may push for Waymo simply to create a large capital barrier for entry and a much slower payback period. More generally though, autonomous driving is an incredibly relaxing and increasingly effortless experience. Going from stressed out driver to relaxed passenger shouldn’t be under estimated. I drive my Model Y in autopilot (or FSD mode) all the time - I always get confused which one is which. Anyways, last week I also took a Waymo 4 times. Both are marvelous feats of engineering.
