I recently made (by far) my largest investment ever, into SpaceX. In this video I explain how I got the opportunity to invest, and my thought process behind pulling the trigger on this deal. I had to go into debt which I really don't recommend, and make the decision on the spot .. but investing in SpaceX was a dream come true, and I had to go for it. I also explain my though process behind SpaceX'...

If Tesla can sell 10M cars in 2030 at $35K, with a 40% ROIC, a 40X multiple on that would be $2.8T. Discounted back at 8%, Mayur comes up with a fair value of $1,167 per share for Tesla's vehicle business. Tesla already has a 23% ROIC today, despite numerous growth tailwinds. This puts them far above auto industry norms, and validates the companies valuation as a technology play/disrupter. Even at...

nterview with Anastasi in Tech about Tesla's AI Day, and ambitious new Dojo supercomputer project. We discuss why Tesla brought chip production in house, how the Dojo D1 chip compares to Nvidia, and Google's TPU, and the strategy behind it. Also how Tesla's FSD/Tesla Vision tech will translate into building a humanoid robot, the Teslabot. Thanks to Anastasi for coming on the show, follow her chann...

Deep dive on what is priced in to Tesla's current ~$850B fully-diluted valuation, featuring special guest Mayur Thacker. Starting with Tesla's financials today ($48B revenue & $5.2B EBIT run-rate) and going through the ROIC numbers compared to other automakers and big tech. We try and determine how much robotaxi business or revenue is priced into Tesla stock. Let us know what you think in the...

Having a beer and gossiping about Rivian's planned ~$80B IPO. Does the valuation make sense? What is priced in? What about the Rivian rally car, Amazon Delivery Van and their autonomous strategy? Will they be able to compete with the Cybertruck? Let me know what you think!!

NFTs on are taking off as a new asset class. Investable art, video games, event tickets, VR worlds, the potential is limitless for what can be created on the Ethereum blockchain as an NFT. In this episode I explain my philosophy for which NFTs I buy & how I pick a good project/artist to support. Shoutout to JOYWorld & VeeFriends!!

Starlink is reportedly getting ready to rollout a new version of its 'satellite dish' which will be more rectangular. This new V3 terminal will be much cheaper to ship, and is designed for automated mass production (at profitable margins). It's performance is reportedly improved as well. SpaceX has detailed plans to begin launching Gen2 satellites, eventually with Starship. Boosting its capacity f...

Tesla's new humanoid robot, the Tesla Bot, Optimus, represents a massive new growth opportunity for the company. We are on the cusp of automating many boring, dangerous and repetitive tasks in society, thanks to emerging technologies like this. As Tesla begins to ramp development efforts on its Robotics/AI division, I think this new growth opportunity should be slowly priced into the stock (as the...

Ethereum is the world's 2nd most valuable cryptocurrency, with a network value of $442B. Et has recently been outperforming Bitcoin, and gaining major real world traction. From Cryptopunks taking off with Visa, Odell Beckham Jr and Jay Z .. to VeeFriends by Garyvee, to JOY's JOYWorld ... we are in the early innings of the metaverse being created and it is epic!

Panel discussion with James Wang, Naveen Rao & Dylan Patel about Tesla's AI Day, Dojo chip ambitions and robotaxis. We start with an overview of neural nets, and Tesla's FSD program/approach vs other self-driving startups, then go into a deep discussion about Tesla's in-house Dojo chip program, and how it stacks up vs the industry leaders. Ending the discussion with Tesla Bots and Robotaxi pre...

Update from Kato Road; Tesla is making huge progress on its 4680 battery cell line. Minor delays in turning the cathode powder into a sheet, mean that the Model Y in Berlin & Austin will launch with the 2170, before switching to the 4680. This is probably also the reason the Cybertruck won't begin deliveries until ~Q3 2022. Let me know what you've been hearing in the comments below! Overall I...

The moonshot rumor was true, Tesla is building a humanoid robot (Tesla Bot), and unveiled it at AI Day. Based on the company's FSD Tesla Vision technology, this friendly robot is designed to automate boring, repetitive and dangerous tasks. The first version is expected to be completed next year. My guess is it could take 5-10 years before these are roaming the streets, but when they do, it will fe...

Biden snubs Tesla at his White House Event, proving that lobbying is institutionalized bribery in the United States. Bitcoin and Ethereum's biggest threat is legislation from the US government as they threaten hegemony of the traditional banking system and hegemony of the US Dollar. Neuralink raises $205M to accelerate development of its brain machine interface technology. And more!

Tesla AI day is on August 19th, and the rumors are swirling ... Dennis Hong is tweeting a storm, the invite says that Tesla will show what the AI can do beyond the car ... is Tesla getting ready to show us a humanoid robot, something like Ex-Machina?!?! Elon has something up his sleeve, what do you think it is!?

*SORRY FOR THE ROMAN CRICKETS IN THE BACKGROUND* Elon Musk has confirmed that Tesla will be hosting AI day on August 19th! I cover what I'm expecting from the event, with FSD Beta rollout, Tesla Vision, Andrej Karpathy & the Dojo supercomputer! Also, Rivian IPO gossip, Redwood Materials capital raise, Lightship RV (a new startup I'm working with), and me begging to get Snap Spectacles again .....

After spending a week driving Tesla's FSD V9 software all around Seattle, here are my thoughts. This is V1 of Tesla Vision (no radar), and it already preforms better than V8.2 (vision + radar), additionally, huge improvements have been made to the visualization, and 'Mind of Car' view. Although we are still 1-2 years away (at least, probably) from a truly self-driving car, Tesla's FSD software is...

Interview with Celsius CEO/Founder Alex Mashinsky. We discuss how Celsius is building a new type of crypto bank, offering a suite of financial services for 14 different blockchains, including Bitcoin and Ethereum.

US inflation is rising rapidly, is this the new normal? Robinhood is set to IPO for a ~$50B market cap, do you think they will brush off all the SEC fines and controversy? The Boring Company is no longer just a tweet, it's got a fully functional Loop tunnel in Las Vegas! Tesla's near term stock movement will probably have a lot to do with FSD progress ... and more covered in this epic HyperScheme!

Tesla reports 201,250 deliveries for Q2 2021, an increase of more than 100% from last year. This puts Tesla on track for the magical 1M/car/yr run-rate by the end of 2021. These awesome delivery numbers imply ~$11.5B in revenue and huge profits/cashflow. That's great, but we are just getting started, Tesla is poised to post record deliveries again in Q3 and Q4, and probably for years to come as th...

Interview with Moe Salih, Co-Founder of HyperCharts, about how he's using software to turn SEC filing data/complex financials into easy to read charts. One chart is worth 1,000 numbers!

HyperCharts is my favorite tool for investment research, and it's the first thing I do to analyze...

Seattle is poised to hit a record 108 degrees this week! By far the hottest ever! You've never needed AC in Seattle before, but climate change is coming in hot, literally. The time is now for Tesla and Elon Musk to push their AC/smarthome HVAC product forward. We need an energy efficient way to heat and cool our homes, and Seattle is just the first city to encounter this problem. What are your tho...
