Elon Musk is building something in Memphis that could eclipse even Tesla and SpaceX. At the heart of it is a new AI supercomputer—what one industry CEO calls “the most powerful in the world.” Musk says this tech will drive the next wave of American innovation. You can’t invest in the supercomputer directly—but there’s a backdoor way to access the company powering it. It’s smaller than Tesla or Nvidia, but both rely on it for future growth.tc pixel
