I feel xAI is just a very big version of the Boring Co. "flamethrower": an unserious endeavor which is just a reskinned existing tool (it was a reskinned weed burner), but people were wowed by it anyway, since Musk was behind it, and they all pretended it was something new and notable.

The burning (heh) question is which SpaceX subsidiary will fail first, xAI or Tesla (not yet a subsidiary, but it's written in the stars (heh))?

Then again SpaceX is also jumping the shark what with their orbital data centers (remember those?).

Might be time to start a new Musk company soon.

Crazy thing is if Hormuz stays closed, Tesla could theoretically be positioned to reap massive benefits. But they seem to be moving away from consumer electric cars as their focus.

"Might be time to start a new Musk company soon."

This made me laugh

How mamy times have we seen HN comments something like, "He started/runs [number] companies..." therefore he is a genius
