It's a hot topic right now since Trump just ended the EV credits. Which you'd think Musk would want to keep.
And beyond this article, Musk has "quiet quit" on Tesla as a car company, based on his earning calls. They said little about cars and instead deflected the hype to "AI robots" in 2027. It's all just so weird.
- sureglymop 2y agoI think the pivot makes sense. EV credit subsidies are drying up, let's pivot to subsidies for AI developments which the new administration may enable in order to maintain an image of superiority over foreign adversaries.
- DoesntMatter22 2y agoI don't think he's quiet quit but interest rates are high and he's realized there's way more money in robots and self driving. The goal of a good CEO is to be forward thinking and that's what he's doing. Tesla continues to grow on many fronts and is still accumulating money in the bank. Meanwhile most other car companies are in big, big trouble. (Volkswagen, GM, etc)
- Auracle 2y agoThe potential sales of robots is huge. Everyone I know with kids would easily pony up 10k for a robot just to do their dishes. It’s a massive untapped market.
