Absolutely incredible. So... Elon does this crazy shutdown of the Twitter data center last Christmas, only to give that data center to Tesla... who then filled it with GPUs from Twitter... to power xAI.

One way the companies are working closely together: sharing hardware. At a time when getting access to the GPUs necessary to efficiently build AI systems can be almost impossible for some tech CEOs, Musk managed it easily — by tapping his other ventures.

At least some of the servers are now operating in a data center in Sacramento that was previously leased by Twitter, but is now leased by Tesla.
