What about the compute deals? $3.1B a month for half their compute? Elon built $6B of rev in 122 days. What can he do now that he's got a $85B war chest of cash?

Anthropic deal is 1.25B a month for half a gigawatt, with it rising up to 1g.(total deal size 2-2.5B a month) add on this google $900m a month and you get 3.4B a month. Starship cost is probably something like (y = (400m - 20m (0.85)^t + 20

at 2.4B a month they get buyback on both C1 and C2 in one year... or, over the useful life of their datacenters (around 7-10 years before swapping to latest tech) they will make around $201B-$288B off these two deals alone. Elon is the grea

we have seen .005 radar ap is the most important because drones aren't long range enough in a real war. Ukraine and Russia should be looked at as a local conflict and not indicative how a real "war" would be fought now.
