Is Elon Musk insane? Will a bet of over $200 billion go up in flames ?
There are people who are saying that his plans will never work.
Who is right ?

26 ,January. The ecat electrical generator product is being presented to market.!
I know you followed him for a bit and then discarded it as seeming vaporware , but I’ve been following it and I believe it’s real!
This is going to be market disruptive. I think the selling price will be $350 per hundred watt of output. They are starting with big units for a electrical utility I think 22,000 V output.
No he won’t.
Yeh, sadly I have also been following this for many years.
What a lot of wasted time.
Yep, and I’m betting the deliveries will be to anonymous, unverifiable “customers”.
Watching this video now but had a question about the Grok 3 day-trading claim.
Feels like a huge assumption the day-trading performance will just be able to scale to underwrite the orbital datacenter scale CAPEX. It’s easier to get a 10% return on $1k than $1T. At the lower portfolio volume, I could see the significance just being Grok cracking the “language” of daily stock fluctuations. Big, big jump to assume it holds up with real capital and other investing types, no?
It is Grok 4.2
The claim is not that day trading will pay for orbital data centers, the claim is that AI is solving many valuable markets and getting revenue and profits. Biggest markets are writing software, advancing science, financial revolutions and vastly improving ads and digital media.
Brian, heads up.
MIT professor N. Loureiro was sh0t and k1lled today.
He lead the MIT Plasma Science Department, working with Commonwealth fusion.
How might that impact the fusion companies timeline, I wonder?
probably LGBT lover’s quarrel
Beyond the loss suffered by his wife and three children, my comment to Brian was about the effect his death might have on Commonwealth fusion, a leader in fusion research.
My bringing it to Brian’s attention was also to encourage him to post about it quickly — while folk were searching for the story, so as to be favoured by the search algorithm.
thanks
thanks again, here it is.
