Notable quotes

“Elon is simultaneously Thomas Edison and Barnum & Bailey. He's the circus entertainer who can, um, who can, you know, put on a crazy show and talk about what technology will be like in, you know, 10, 20, 30, 40 years. But then he can actually deliver like the most popular and successful car in the Model Y and become the most popular car in China even and actually land the rockets and get Starlink to work, use it on p”

“I'm actually not that worried about pricing just because SpaceX and Tesla are really good at making things pretty cheap. So, like if they can get this out and they can get it to be $250, you know, a million dollars, you'll see them and they'll be popular and they'll be cool. Um, again, the flight stuff feels like uh very limited. And then it's like, are you going to have like a new type of track day where you can go ”

“So the meme has been the lab revenues are 10x-ing every year. Anthropic went from like, uh, 100 million to 1 billion to 10 billion. So logically they'll do 100 billion. But I remember looking at the numbers and being like, there's actually, it sounds so nitpicky to say it's deceleration, but it technically is because I think they went from like a little over 100 million to a billion, which is just under 10x. And then”

“Gerson was on CNBC this morning. He says, 'We have sold, this is according to a meet, we have sold all of our Core. We don't own any of it today. We've taken exposure down over the last three months. We felt AI had overshot and would lead to a period of consolidation.' They moved 10% of their book into Meta and Tesla. And again, Brad usually ahead of the curve. Sounds like he was here as well.”

“It's crazy that you can be growing at 45% quarter-on-quarter and still not meet expectations, but when people have had in their minds 10x every year, 10x revenue growth every year, and Anthropic goes to their investor day and says that Q3 revenue was $16.88 billion, which annualizes to $67 billion, $67 billion. I don't know what they were doing there. That seems like a little bit of like, okay, I get it. It's like th”
