He and his team have open access to all US citizens data, including all his competitors. He has AI models churning through the data. That gives him access and advantage that no-one else has previously had. Tesla and X are basically throw away toys now

I've read it is valued at something like 20-times other car companies when you compare to earnings.

The main reason the shift hasn't happened of course is because the infrastructure isn't there to have everyone driving an EV. Which makes the mandates nonsensical.
