IBM only has 2% of cloud.

It is of interest to learn about the breadth of the Musk companies. The examples are very numerous but the FSD Full Self Driving Cybercab is an example.

Today, all Tesla FSD cars have the benefit of over 8 billion on the road miles driving experience. Each knows what they all know and what all have done.

The comupter on board has tons of sensors that record all of what is in process around the vehicle. The computer knows where it is going and knows the experiences of other FSD cars that were headed to that point. All it is learning is transmitted via Starlink satellites to the AI data center.

Starlink and Tesla are very tightly integrated to allow functionality of FSD cars (and Semis) that can not be duplicated by any other FSD cars attempting to compete.

That is just the beginning. Optimus robots can have similar connectivity to learn tasks mastered by other Optimus robots.

There is lots of speculation about the financial merger of the Tesla and Starlink corporations that results in the pretty much merged functionality that already exists in practical hour to hour operations.

The Tesla Pi phone that exists as a phone, primarily exists as acces to the Tesla cars and Optimus robots and who knows what all else. The Tesla phone uses the Starlink global satellite connectivity. The chip manufacturing factory that is the largest in the world producing the most advanced chip in the world has Intel onboard to guide the manufacturing.

The reality is that it is all connected and related in an extremely complex web of inter connecting and intermeshed technical details that are for ordinary immortals, unfathomable.
