Tesla Q1 2026 earnings are hot off the press, and the biggest announcement wasn't in the results but on the conference call. Elon Musk and Tesla are now upping CAPEX guidance to $25B in 2026! That's right, they want to spend $25BILLION this year on investments on AI and robotics. This means they will be losing free cash flow and could mean they will have to raise more capital in the future. All to fund ambitious projects like Cybercab, Robotaxi, Optimus training, Terafab AI Chips & more! What are your thoughts on this massive news!??!My X:   / gfilche  HyperChange Patreon :)   / hyperchange   Disclaimer: Nothing in this show is financial advice I'm long Tesla.

Going live for the release of Tesla’s Q1 2026 Shareholder Letter as the company reports earnings today! Updating investors on financials, Robotaxi, Optimus, Cybercab and more! $TSLA investors join in!

Episode 2 of the weekly HyperChange podcast. This week we discuss how XMoney is poised to compete with Robinhood and Coinbase and how this is a great example of how fast things are moving in the era of HyperChange. Companies are getting disrupted in a flash. Stocks like Figma and Adobe are getting crushed as Claude rolls out Design. Does assuming companies will be around in a decade make sense anymore? Also I discuss Tesla's valuation and we do an earnings preview covering everything from Robotaxi to the financials and Tesla Semi.

I'm joined by my homie Jfilche aka the CLAUDE GOD to help us breakdown this epic milestone.

Just got back from Austin, TX and there were Waymo's EVERYWHERE. Calling them was super easy through the Uber app, and surprisingly cheap. I had multiple rides across town that were under $10. Everytime the Waymo was super clean and was a perfect experience. It felt like I was living in the future. Waymo is officially at 500,000 rides per week now, a ~$500M revenue run-rate. I wonder when Tesla's Robotaxi network will catchup?? Will the upcoming Cybercab launch be a gamechanger?

I read The Hidden Life of Trees by Peter Wohlleben and it totally changed my perspective on these incredible plants that surround us! Trees communicate with each other, live in families and can be thousands of years old. We've been living in harmony with them for millions of years and it's not only until recently that we understood how complex they are. My Moonshot proposal is that we need to design cities around trees. They provide incredible passive cooling, and numerous health benefits like clean air, happier people, more energy efficient cities and so much more! Not to mention our cities of the future would look insanely cool! Imagine Austin, Texas with more trees! It's already too hot there, this is the perfect solution!Hidden Life of Trees book on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/177...My X:   / gfilche  HyperChange Patreon :)   / hyperchange  

An interview with Amy (@_SFTahoe) & Tesla Larry about the upcoming Terafab announcement and potential Tesla/SpaceX/xAI merger. Since Larry's initial theory about merging Tesla & SpaceX, a ton of progress has been made in that direction. SpaceX has acquired xAI and we could be months away from an IPO. Collaborations between the new SpaceX/XAI and Tesla are heating up, with the new AI chips (Terafab), satellites, Grok and so much more. At this point the merger seems inevitable ... what do you think?Amy on X: https://x.com/_SFTahoeLarry on X: https://x.com/TeslaLarry0:45 SpaceX to $100T2:30 SpaceX Plans To Be 10X Bigger Than NVIDIA5:20 The Terafab is Coming!

Last week Starcloud CEO Philip Johnston confirmed that they will be launching a Bitcoin mining rig in space later this year. This will be the first Bitcoin mined in space and potentially one of the most lucrative use cases for orbital datacenters. This could have huge implications to the Bitcoin network's future decentralization and resiliency. Now this has got me curious ... will SpaceX/xAI get into Bitcoin mining in space as well? Especially with the upcoming launch of XMoney? It seems like there is a lot of potential here. What do you think? Is the hype real? Will the majority of Bitcoin mining move to space??0:00 Starcloud CEO Confirms First Bitcoin Mining In Space2:04 How Mining In Space Helps Bitcoin3:13 Will SpaceX/xAI Do Bitcoin Mining In Space For Xmoney4:27 Bitcoin Mining In Space Could Be Very Profitable4:55 Is Bitcoin A Distraction For SpaceX?6:57 What’s The Future of Bitcoin In Space?My X:   / gfilche  HyperChange Patreon :)   / hyperchange   Disclaimer: This is not financial advice.

I haven't felt this since building my first website 20 years ago ... The internet is fun again. AI has arrived and it is about to change everything as we know it. No job is safe, no industry will stay the same ... we are officially in the era of HyperChange. The bigger the problem the bigger the opportunity. Those who dive deep into AI now have unlimited potential to create incredible businesses and lives for themselves. I'm personally taking this to heart and using AI in every facet of my endeavors. The future is up for grabs right now, I encourage you to take it.My X:   / gfilche  HyperChange Patreon :)   / hyperchange   Disclaimer: Nothing in this show is financial advice.

Just got back from 4 days in Austin, Texas testing Tesla's Robotaxi network. It was very interesting to show the app to my friends and see their reactions and compare the experience with Waymo/Uber. Robotaxi demand was very high because of low prices, and this mean that about 50% of the time I was unable to call a car due to "high service demand", the other 50% of the time Robotaxi was available with a ~15 minute wait time. I'm STOKED to see this expand! It may take some time, but this will truly transform transportation as we know it ... especially if the price sticks! What are your thoughts on the Robotaxi rollout so far.0:00 Just got back from Austin0:40 Official Robotaxi data2:48 Tesla Robotaxi review vs Waymo & Uber4:59 Robotaxi demand is off the charts7:28 Funny Robotaxi Supervisor story9:06 Watching Robotaxi develop over timeMy X:   / gfilche  HyperChange Patreon :)   / hyperchange   Disclaimer: I'm long Tesla stock and nothing in this show is financial advice.

Modeling Tesla's financials from 2026 through 2030. Going from estimating vehicle sales next year, to robotaxi rollout and then optimus impact later this decade. Do you think Tesla is fairly valued at $1.5T after posting $95B in revenue last year (a slight decline) and 4 years of declining earnings? Are we at the start of a massive turn around where Tesla returns to growth and pumps out massive profits?

A judge has ruled that the Elon Musk versus OpenAI case is going to trial in April 2026. This is a public grand jury trial, and is gearing up to be an insane spectacle in tech, with leaders like Sam Altman, Satya Nadella and Elon Musk potentially taking the stand in court. The case stems over disputes about the founding and initial funding of OpenAI, where Elon Musk was heavily involved when it was a non-profit. Now Sam Altman's for profit conversion has been surrounded in drama since day one, and is being fully called into question with this court case. Is Elon Musk about to end up with a huge chunk of OpenAI? I discuss with reporter Alex Heath (founder of sources.news) to get an inside scoop on the case.

The rumor mill is going crazy! Apparently SpaceX is in talks to merge with XAI ahead of its rumored IPO later this year. This is HUGE news, and now Bloomberg is even reporting Tesla may be involved in the merger as well. Elon Musk has outlined ambitous plans for all of his companies, between investments in Optimus, Cybercab, orbital datacenters, Starlink, XAI compute and more. This could be he needs $1T or more in CAPEX spend, and the easiest way to raise that money would be a combined company. What are your thoughts? Is this going through??Here's my video with Tesla Larry Goldberg about his vision for a Tesla stock swap to buy SpaceX and XAI that appears to be coming true:    • How Tesla Acquires SpaceX, xAI, Neuralink ...  My X:   / gfilche  HyperChange Patreon :)   / hyperchange   Disclaimer: This is not financial advice and I'm long SpaceX & XAI through positions in SPVs.

My interview with Alex Grant, the Founder of Magrathea. His company has achieved a breakthrough in refining brines and seawater to create metals and rare earth materials. Magrathea has just signed an agreement with Tetra Industries in Arkansas to create a new US Magnesium supply from one of their bromine brines. This is a HUGE deal, not only a more sustainable way to make metal, but also reshoring a critical industry that we have outsourced to Russia and China. I'm a proud investor in Magrathea through my VC firm HyperGuap, and think this is one of the coolest startups to watch right now. Thanks for coming on the show Alex!
