Don't forget the other part of this. Last year SpaceX invested $2B into xai and now Tesla is investing another $2B into xai.

Just don't look when the operator removes the oculus headset and the robot explodes.

Of his car models S, 3, X, Y (haha get it? Sexy? Elon is so funny) and the Cybertruck, something like 95% of sales came from the sub $40k models (3 and Y). Turns out no-one wanted to buy his luxury priced cars with barely any luxury features at over double the price. That's even without Chinese EVs being in the picture. He's just bad at business, he's not delivering his more popular models on time while wasting production capacity and effort on models that don't sell because it spells a funny word.
