Tesla, Falcon 9, Starlink, Mechazilla, SolarCity, Colossus, Neuralink, Starship, Optimus...
SolarCity pretty much failed. Wasnt there an article recently that their projects per year is super low?
Tesla is the only profitable example in that list?
Optimus seriously.
Every product adoption success he's had since PayPal has been hardware.
And in a market where the incumbents were either incompetent or didn't bother to show up to the game.

I don't understand why people don't call that out more, when Musk rambles endlessly about how he's going to reinvent data centers and semiconductor fabs.
