>> What were his recent "accomplishments"?

Sure, the most recent accomplishment is the first credible EV that drives itself using computer vision. I would think you have been around the chip/computer business long enough to recognize the importance of that accomplishment. Jensen certainly does.

Whether the CT is a failure remains to be seen. At this point, recovering costs would be a win, however.

As to Robotaxi, you are wrong in that WayMo made a bad choice up front by going with LiDAR. And I think they know it. They're Google so they can recover from anything but at this time, Tesla is way ahead in this "race". Reality is if it takes them a year replicate Tesla's success, it doesn't change the outcome massively.

For now it matters that Tesla has opted for a two-seater vs. bigger, heavier cars, and that does matter.

Google has the ability to put a lot of money into the project if it chooses to. But at this time, it is becoming plain that Tesla made the better tech choice.

Optimus we just don't know what it is at this point. But I do not think their investment is as big as some have suggested.

It is hard to claim his political interests are an "utter failure". He was instrumental in getting Trump elected, which plainly saved the country from a total disaster.

I don't see that you've made a cogent argument here at all.

>> Cybertruck? What a bust that was.

That isn't a bust yet.

Ford, the only player in the truck business against CT, is gone. So, it is going to CY, the GM, and Rivian.

There will clearly be a rejiggering of the market segment and I would anticipate the CT will be in an improved position for the year starting Jan. They should sell 12-20K CTs if the market recovers a little.
