The Physical AI Power Struggle: Musk’s Empire vs. China’s Ecosystem
AI has left the screen and entered the physical world. Musk is building a vertically integrated empire with Starlink, Starship, Optimus and xAI. China counters with system-level integration. Power, cooling and space logistics are the new bottlenecks, creating a brief window for Korean companies.
The Rocket Engine for AI
Elon Musk does not hand out compliments. So when he looks at a chip and calls it "the rocket engine for AI," something has changed. Not his opinion of NVIDIA. His calculation of what it will take to build intelligence at planetary scale.
