random prediction and potentially hot take: in years (exact timeline idk), elon will sell tesla’s car/truck unit to a US automobile co so he can focus tesla exclusively on batteries and energy

energy like nuclear? tesla is winning in auto for way more than just electric cars - autonomy is life-saving and better branded at tesla. dealerships are a burden, old, hard to get rid of, and others' manufacturing is outdated. they're saving costs all over, and the battery vertical is obviously huge. it makes more surface-level sense to me that one makes a premium and profitable difference in consumer while also selling batteries across the board. i also think elon likes the consumer attention, but maybe what you're saying is a way to go private. seems unlikely to me, but commend the deeper thinking

Battery and Solar Energy can only go so far. Solar isn’t going to improve. Battery (storing energy) is getting better but slowed by limitations/tech/materials. Nuclear energy has to be part of the solution/recipe. If the US wants to be home to these AI+ data centers we need more nuclear! China is surpassing the US as they are building power plants (nuclear + coal) at an astounding rate. @ted I think nuclear would benefit if Musk got involved in it.
