00:07According to a post on X, Black, the managing director of the Future Fund LLC,
00:12compared Tesla to Amazon.com Inc. during its early and profitable years.

00:21advantages. He said Tesla once held a large cost advantage in building high-quality electric
00:26vehicles and was his fund's largest position for years. He said competition later penetrated the
00:31EV market and Tesla's stock price moved far ahead of his estimates. Black said he sees a similar
00:36pattern emerging in autonomous driving as competitors launch unsupervised ride-hailing
00:41services. He said NVIDIA's Alpameo technology is broadening access to autonomy. The comments come
