🎞️ In this clip from Tuesdays Livestream, we go full deus ex machina—because frankly, that’s what it’s starting to feel like. The government just slashed clean energy tax credits. Congress dropped an absolutely wild spending bill. And the only glimmer of hope? AI-driven GDP growth and Tesla’s autonomous future.
Matt and Bradford break down why solar just got sucker punched, how energy infrastructure could choke AI’s rise, and what it would really take for Tesla Robotaxis to match Uber. There’s even a Starship-to-Tesla production comparison, and a real talk about whether Tesla will ever hit 20 million units a year—or if it even matters anymore.
