Elon Musk redirected 12,000 Nvidia AI chips from Tesla to his social media platform X and AI startup xAI, delaying Tesla’s processor delivery by months. This shift caused concerns among Tesla shareholders as it conflicted with AI investment forecasts. Musk explained the decision was due to Tesla’s lack of readiness to use the chips. He reassured that Tesla would soon utilize the chips for Full-Self Driving software training at its Gigafactory in Texas. Musk aims to spend up to $4 billion on Nvidia hardware, emphasizing the challenges of integrating 50,000 AI chips into a functional system. This move comes as Musk faces scrutiny over his multiple leadership roles and as Tesla shareholders vote on his compensation package and a proposal to move the company’s incorporation to Texas.
