If you haven't heard episode one, please go back and listen. In episode one, we learned about how

and how far he's financially extended XAI to try to make that bet pay off.

Here's your thing.

data centers on Earth. Colossus was training GROC, Elon's steadily improving chatbot,

and this year, XAI absorbed X, Elon's social media platform, and GROC was integrated into X.com.

You could begin to see a grander vision emerging.

XAI would be the brain running the rest of Elon's operations.

As GROC grew more intelligent, it would one day power his optimist robots,

support operations at SpaceX, be the driver in self-driving Tesla's.
