2025 Bloomberg Clip Highlights Collaboration on AI, Self-Driving, and Humanoid Robots

A video clip from Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s Bloomberg Technology interview, originally aired on May 28, 2025, has gone viral again on social media, fueling excitement about Tesla’s robotics ambitions and broader partnerships with Elon Musk.In the segment, host Ed Ludlow asked Huang about Nvidia’s deepening ties with Tesla and xAI across AI computing, autonomous driving, and robotics.Huang lavished praise on Musk and his ventures, calling his work across multiple fronts “world class” and “revolutionary.”

Here is the verbatim quote from the clip:

“Elon is just an extraordinary engineer, and I love working with him. We’ve built some amazing computers together. We’re going to build many more computers together. The work that he’s doing in Grok, his self-driving car, his Optimus—these are all, every single one of them, world class. Every single one revolutionary. Every single one of them are going to be gigantic opportunities. And we’re delighted, I’m delighted to be working with him on that. So I think the Optimus opportunity is just right around the corner. It’s very likely that humanoid robots are going to be robots that we can deploy into the world relatively easily, and this is the first robot that really has a chance to achieve the high volume and technology scale necessary to advance technology. And so I think this is likely to be the next multi-trillion dollar industry.”

Huang emphasized Tesla’s unique manufacturing expertise as a key enabler for scaling Optimus to high-volume production, setting it apart from competitors.

The clip was reposted on X on January 1, 2026, by prominent Tesla supporter CB Doge.

(Memphis, TN) xAI has secured 168 big batteries – Tesla Megapacks – to power up and cool down Colossus 2, a second xAI data center.

Colossus: From 1 to 2

Colossus 1 began construction in early 2024, with planning finalized by March 2024, and started running in September 2024, built in roughly six months. Colossus 2, expanding capacity for complex AI tasks, began development in early 2025, with these 168 powder white Tesla Megapacks delivered by ~ May 19.

Colossus 2 is Massive

Elon revealed on X that Colossus 2 will be the world’s first gigawatt AI training supercluster, this definitely pushes earth’s computational limits.

A gigawatt is one billion watts, enough to power about 750,000 average U.S. homes for an hour, matching the output of a large nuclear power plant.

“Aiming to make Grok the best tool for developers, from enterprise & government to consumer video games!” Elon posted.

The Tesla Megapacks, verified by xAI’s Brent Mayo as designated for Colossus 2, will also ensure grid resilience for the city.

City of Memphis Benefits from xAI’s Commitment

The Greater Memphis Chamber praised xAI’s sustainable practices. “xAI is committed to Memphis through their environmental practices,” the chamber stated, noting participation in MLGW’s Demand Response program. An additional 150 megawatts of Megapack batteries will support the grid during outages or peak demand, benefiting the community. “Grid resilience and battery backup are key to ensuring a successful future for xAI and the region,” Mayo said, adding, “Grok loves the Megapacks!”

My thoughts: Tesla + xAI

I recently read about the great success of Tesla Megafactory in Lathrop, California. It is beautiful to see manufacturing in the US by Tesla provide the solution to xAI’s power demands. Looking at the data center pics (below) you can tell it is essentially hungry for energy for power and cooling. I’ve seen a small data center up close in Austin, Texas, and noticed the huge effort made to keep it cooled.

With Colossus 2, xAI is not just building AI but also serving to buffer local energy infrastructure in case of a power outage.
