Millions of produced verified software engineered products in 45 minutes in the likeness of Oracle ERP or notepad++, helix are small potatoes when you see the unbounded ambitions of SpaceX in full.
The end point may squeeze quality of operations at the subminute time span for ground control environment seriously launching Starship rockets one an hour, for example.
The micromini swarm drone attack risk to deterrence on preemptive strike on stategic nuclear weapons installations is a rat meets dinosaur epochal defining moment if humanity survives to tell the tale.
Wind the clock forward from 2008 to the present and see the quality of vision improve point to point across the planet as SpaceX increases launch cadence to proliferate their Starlink and Starshield constellations. The Blue Origin LEO constellation is way behind in orbit stationed satellite counts and receives special attention from political friends for failing to meet contracted obligation, which is the standard for big American bureaucratic industry that is slow and stupid these days.
Europe and Asia are increasingly uncomfortable with a de-facto starlink monopoly, not to say the inherent risks of mandated US traffic snooping.
Not that a snap of the legal fingers will change this, but it's likely in a 10+ year vision launch costs and LEO won't be single-supplier dominated quite the same way.
Tesla is losing market share. Not because they are bad cars, because the $27,000 low end unit never emerged and GWM, BYD and the Europeans are accelerating into the segment. Tesla is immensely profitable but it's not as market dominant as it was. Prestige EV auto has returned to core market brand leaders as well. You can't bottle the scent of a German brand like Audi, BMW or Mercedes.
I'm sceptical "compute in orbit" is going to be a thing. I'm skeptical the AI money pit will ever be profitable. Other ventures (chip makers) will be fine.
I have no idea what point you're trying to make here.
The 2008 crisis wasn't "literally every mortgage holder is unable to repay", nor was it "none of these houses exist".
Starlink being decent, the launch business being close enough to profitable they can make it so whenever they want by (I think merely by?) slowing down Starship R&D, that doesn't change anything about X or xAI having the potential to sink the rest of it.
That said, the Consolidated Balance Sheet in the S-1 filing… I'm new to reading financial docs, but they do have a line saying "Accumulated deficit" is just over 37 billion dollars, which honestly is probably why they felt the need to sell 75 billion of shares as they were in danger of, as Thatcher said of socialism, "eventually run out of other people's money": https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1181412/000162828026...

Touch screen makes sense for MacBook to allow continuity in UX context switching between iPad and MacBook. More intuitive to touch control media play buttons and directly finger drag scrubber for quick interventions, with keyboard shortcuts a bonus for longer sessions.
Apple could bridge the gap between Mac Mini Pro and HomePod Mini for the Neo to try experimental local AI configs in need of more memory and storage. The Vision Neo completes the three part environment system for students in biology or morphogenesis and robot design.
