I'm "Guesstimated" 250,000th in line on deliveries... Might even get it next year (I've watched a few videos of their assembly line, it's insanely efficient).

(damn, I clearly didn't use my personalized GPT bot for that list... doesn't read at all like my writing style)


I only have hope because he is breaking every mold he faces and at least that's new.

Although I like Elon, I do not feel he is the person people think he is.

This vehicle is a perfect example of a personality void device for a robotic A I personality-less person of the one world gov world they are planning for us all.

you need to first believe and accept we are in an energy crisis. i do not believe we are. Its manufactured.

[RatRodRob...RRR]

With all Elons current operating companies, how many people does he employ...?

alternatively, from an engineering standpoint; it's the best vehicle ever made (and this is not a statement based on opinion, it is undeniably the safest and most efficient vehicle ever.... but it's ENTIRELY dependent on an electric grid for most).

As of 2023, Tesla employs approximately 127,855 people.

Does that number matter though?

[TargeT]

The advancements in the Cybertruck almost don't make sense, almost every aspect of it is a huge advancement for the automotive industry (though in reality, not much of and advancement for aviation tech).

Very interesting interview with an engineer that pioneered robotics in manufacturing and was a lead engineer for Ford for ever... I love this guy:

BTW, I asked chat GPT your question, got this:

Based on the information gathered:

1. **Total Employees Across Elon Musk's Companies**: Combining the figures from various sources, the total number of employees in Musk's companies, including Tesla, SpaceX, The Boring Company, Neuralink, OpenAI, and others, is approximately in the range of 168,000 to 170,000. This estimate is based on the latest available data from Tesla (127,855 employees), SpaceX (around 12,000), The Boring Company (195), Neuralink (217), OpenAI (263), and PayPal (26,500 in 2020). It's important to note that these numbers can fluctuate with time due to the dynamic nature of these companies.

2. **Total Estimated Net Worth of Musk's Companies**: Estimating the combined net worth of Musk's companies involves considering the market values and valuations of each:
- **Tesla**: With a market cap of approximately $910 billion.
- **SpaceX**: Valued at about $100 billion.
- **The Boring Company**: Valued at $5.675 billion.
- **Neuralink**: With total funding around $363 million (though the market valuation might be higher).
- **OpenAI**: Initially had a $1 billion pledge (matched by Microsoft), but the current valuation is not specified.
- **PayPal**: Market cap of $106.4 billion (as of April 2022, Musk’s involvement here is historical).
- **X (formerly Twitter)**: Acquired for about $44 billion.

Adding these values, the estimated total net worth of Musk's companies could be well over $1 trillion. This estimate, however, is subject to market conditions and may not reflect the current value accurately.

These numbers provide a broad overview and should be interpreted as estimates. For the most current figures, it is recommended to refer to the latest financial reports and market analyses of these companies.

I asked the same type of question about Jeff B.

As of the latest available data, Jeff Bezos's companies have a substantial number of employees and significant valuations. Here are the details:

1. **Total Employees Across Jeff Bezos's Companies**:
- **Amazon**: As of a recent report, Amazon employed about 1.3 million people. This figure includes employees across all its global operations and subsidiaries.
- **Blue Origin**: Bezos's aerospace manufacturer and spaceflight services company, had approximately 3,500 employees.
- **Other Companies**: Bezos has investments and ownership in several other companies like Zappos, MGM, Twitch, Zoox, and Ring, each contributing to the employee count. For instance, Zappos had around 1,800 employees. However, comprehensive current employment figures for all these entities are not readily available.

2. **Total Estimated Net Worth of Bezos's Companies**:
- **Amazon**: The most significant contributor to Bezos's net worth is Amazon, with a market cap of over a trillion dollars.
- **Blue Origin**: While an exact valuation is not publicly available, it is a significant player in the aerospace sector.
- **Other Companies**: These include Zappos (acquired at a valuation of $1.2 billion), MGM (acquired for $8.5 billion), Twitch (acquired for $970 million), Zoox (acquired for $1.2 billion), and Ring (acquired for $1 billion).

Given the dynamic nature of business, these numbers can fluctuate. For the most current and detailed information, you might want to check the latest financial reports or official statements from these companies.

Just reflecting on this...

SpaceX (around 12,000), The Boring Company (195), Neuralink (217), OpenAI (263)

These companies will change humanity so dramatically... and yet the "car" company is the one getting all the attention.... We are the horses, indeed.

Does anyone else fully grasp how much our world will change JUST from the boring company (not to mention how it's already changed SO DRAMATICALLY via StarLink, the entire globe has internet now (aside from the artics) and soon you will have cell coverage everywhere on earth (aside from the artics) for emergency calling minimum... That ALONE is insane... I could expand vastly more but I highly suggest looking into this "phenomenon"

[TargeT]

The Cybertruck is quietly dominating and changing minds... I wonder if this was a sort of quieter release due to the 2mil + back orders.

More sensors collecting data to feed into the worlds most advanced general AI model which will be transfered to Optimus; I wouldn't be surprized if TSLA's start using some back channels on starlink for excess data, though that may not even be needed with their current connectivity.

I've never done delayed gratification for 5 years... the more I hear from owners the more it seems like this vehicle was undersold on purpose...

I'm around 250,000th in line, so I'd imagine late 2025 at traditional ramp rates; with Elon I'd say closer to late Q4 2024 or Q1 2025 is about in line with the expectations of simpler production with dual casting and battery pack structural element that consists of the majority of the vehicle (just 3 components???)

I'm blown away, the 240v access alone is insanely useful

Laundry??? This alone will sell millions....
