Biden actually kept things moving that Trump started in this regard. Or at least tit was his handlers that did. You might not agree with them but they dont want to lose power either

Per google: "Elon Musk’s xAI built the Colossus 1 data center supercomputer cluster in Memphis, Tennessee, in a record 122 days. The facility went online in September 2024, utilizing a repurposed former Electrolux manufacturing plant."

The bold part is important to note. They used an existing plant, so this was more of a remodel/refit inside of the existing facility.

A five second clip that actually shows the robot understanding that it screwed up and emoting made you say this?

Lots of empty manufacturing plants just waiting for an occupant.

Umm no, that's a 5 second clip of the guy controlling the robot taking off his headset while still holding the controller.


Are you blind?

Never saw the headset, but after that context is added, it still makes your statement ridiculous. It was mimicking exactly what the operator was doing, and I'd say that worked. Especially when this is fact.

122 days to build out, but two - three years of engineering design, upgrade of utilities to the site, and equipment production, procurement and planning, including the construction contractors involved to have everything properly staged and ready.

We HODLing our SpaceX bags through this build? Seems like entering the semiconductor manufacturing space could be HUGE.

It's not mimicking, they are entirely human controlled.

In June 2024, Musk claimed that Optimus would enter limited production in 2025, with plans for over 1,000 to be used in Tesla facilities and the possibility of production for other companies in 2026.



You see any robots? Just another Elon lie.

Ya'll so freaking gullible. TSMC will continue to make chips for companies that actually make things.

Ah, I found that guy who's been shorting Space-X stock.

Good, hopefully, you'll continue your investment in TSMC.

But just remember, Space-X has carried more payload into space than the rest of humanity - that's Russia, the US and China has combined, for the past 50 years.

All because a Russian leader laughed at him.

It seems your argument is not at the success of Elon and his underlying companies, but the target dates he sets?

Elon has objectively succeeded in a variety of different end markets.

I think that is specifically about AI servers. The terafab chips will be used in Tesla, SpaceX, etc. They will be producing their own terrestrial chips for products and their own space quality chips for off-earth equipment.
It's called vertical integration in the business world.

I would also add that it’s Texas. Things get built quickly here.
