Tesla AI / xAI compute (Colossus)
Real-world + frontier compute buyer
Tesla's autonomy/robotics AI and its sibling xAI's Colossus supercluster represent one of the largest single concentrated GPU buildouts, making them a demand-side power in the accelerator and energy markets. Their vertical (Dojo + Nvidia) hedges are a notable structural feature of the buyer landscape.
