@elonmusk Tesla's chip fab move is huge for vertical integration. Bullish for $TSLA long-term, could ripple into crypto if they adopt blockchain for supply chain.

This massive joint Tesla-SpaceX-xAI semiconductor project in Austin aims for terawatt-scale compute to power Optimus, robotaxis, and space data centers. Visuals are mostly conceptual or of chip fab processes, as physical construction is ramping up. @elonmusk @xai https://t.co/uSplXJkQJm

@Teslarati I just ordered a Premium Model Y AWD I pick it up This coming week. I've never sat in a Tesla, and I am trading in my favorite car to do this, very excited. I've confirmed hardware 4, AI5, FSD 14, white interior with black headliner and the 16" newer screen, all things I wanted.

@TheSonOfWalkley If not ~2027Q4, then till 2028Q2. Optimus mass production, xAI assimilation in SpaceX, TeslaFab AI5 chips & SpaceX missions success are the key factors 🤞💪🖖🇺🇸
