Elon Musk just got a path to become the world’s first trillionaire, and Tesla shareholders might ride that upside with him. 🚀 This episode breaks down Tesla’s wild new compensation plan, from 20M cars a year and 1M humanoid robots to a global robo-taxi network and an $8.5T valuation. We dive into Cyber Cabs, Optimus, Tesla’s in-house AI chips rivaling NVIDIA, and why Tesla might secretly be the most important AI company in the world.

We finally know what Ilya Sutskever saw, and why OpenAI’s chief scientist moved to oust Sam Altman. We unpack the newly released 52-page deposition: a year of plotting with Mira Murati, the board’s shock decision, and the near-walkout of 700 employees. Then we break down Sam’s $1.4T compute spree, that fiery BG2 exchange, and the only paths that might pay for it (ads? devices? an “AI cloud”?). If you care where AGI, OpenAI’s rumored IPO, and your data are headed, hit play.
