Musk agrees to bring the oomph back to Tesla and buys $1B worth of shares to seal the deal. Optimus Gen3, launched recently, appears to be his pet project at Tesla as he tweets about “burning the midnight oil” with the Optimus team, and the synergy between Optimus and Grok.
The phrase that’s getting thrown around a lot these days is, “The AI bubble is about to burst!” This post presents the 6 factors that are contributing to the expanding girth of this bubble. This post also introduces the Stark Streak cartoons.
