There are probably a couple of different ways to measure it, so maybe another one happened earlier. Revenue vs number of cars sold, for example

Maybe Tesla should have focused on making good cars.

Electric cars, LLMs. I’m wondering how far ahead and more cost effective China is on quantum computing. There’s also a good chance that any legit quantum computing breakthrough in the US gets raped to death by VC vampires like everything else.

What good is new technology if I can't place it behind a massive paywall and generate obscene wealth with it? You expect my dragon hoard to stay confined to one castle like I'm some kind of peasant?

They're already well ahead of us in thorium LFTR tech. It wouldn't surprise me if there were other things they had undermined the US in researching.

Can’t say I’m surprised. I was traveling overseas and I saw some models that looked really cool.

Slave cars or Nazi cars. Tough choice.
