Just when you thought big tech deals couldn’t get any juicier, in strolls Elon Musk with a spicy tweet to spice it all up. This week, Samsung revealed a little something they’ve been cooking up in their mega kitchen—a $16.5 billion contract to develop AI chips for a big, unnamed tech player through 2033. Spoiler alert: that player is Tesla, according to Mr. Musk himself.
In a world where secrets are about as common as a decent wifi connection, Musk confirmed via Twitter that the chips in question will be powering Tesla’s next-gen AI6 chip. You’d think it’s a scene from a tech thriller, but it’s just another day in Silicon Valley where chips are the new oil (minus the environmental catastrophe, hopefully).
So what does this mean for the average person who still has cassette tapes in their garage? Well, it’s a bold step towards an electric future where Tesla cars get even smarter—if they aren’t already busy plotting world domination. With Samsung working in tandem with Tesla, we could see some groundbreaking advancements in autonomous driving and AI capabilities, all brewed in their Texas plant. Now we just need to keep an eye on whether these chips come with a warranty or an existential crisis.
Elon may have a penchant for hyperbole, but if this chip deal materializes, it could cement Tesla’s place as a front runner in the rocket-fueled race for AI supremacy. Buckle up, folks, it seems like the future might be arriving faster than you can say ‘self-driving pizza delivery.’
What do you think? Will this chip deal put Tesla light-years ahead of the competition, or is this just another overpriced piece of silicon?
