Elon Musk ordered thousands of Nvidia AI chips to be diverted from Tesla to X and xAI, his generative AI startup. The diversion could delay Tesla’s development of a robotaxi.
Elon Musk ordered thousands of Nvidia-made AI chips destined for Tesla to be diverted to his social media company X, according to emails from the chipmaker obtained by CNBC. The move has the potential to delay Tesla’s acquisition of $500 million worth of processors by months, the outlet reports. Tesla is supposed to be stocking up on Nvidia’s H100 artificial intelligence chips in order to power its transformation into “a leader in AI and robotics,” according to Musk.
” In follow-up messages, Nvidia employees noted that Musk’s comments during the earnings call and in subsequent posts on X “conflicts with bookings.” The move to divert AI chips from Tesla to X could rankle Tesla investors, who are betting on Musk delivering his promise of fully autonomous vehicles. The company plans to unveil its first robotaxi vehicle at an event in August.
