Forget Tesla — This Tiny AI Stock Is Musk’s Real Play (Ad)

While Wall Street focused on Tesla’s earnings, Elon Musk was quietly building a supercomputer so powerful it could transform warfare, robotics, and the global economy. But you don’t need to buy Tesla or wait for xAI to IPO to benefit. One overlooked public company is supplying the critical tech behind Musk’s AI push — and it trades for a fraction of Nvidia’s price. Hedge funds are already loading up, but most investors haven’t noticed yet.tc pixel
