ROUNDUP: Musk Is Building a $119 Billion Chip Fortress in Texas

from The BOOM ROOM by Arcanum Ventures · host Arcanum Ventures

Tesla and SpaceX are building a $119 billion semiconductor complex in Texas so Musk never has to depend on Nvidia again, Nvidia is building its own trillion-parameter model to compete with its own customers, and China's Unitree robot IPO got oversubscribed 8,000 times over. Carmelo and Sasha get into the race to own the whole stack, plus a weak jobs report, OpenAI's comeback and its Astra safety pause, Anthropic watermarking AI text, and the Clarity Act falling apart.
