Elon Musk uses PC desktop with 'latest graphics card', GIGABYTE laptop (2024)
We all know that Elon Musk is a PC gamer, but now the SpaceX and Tesla founder has confirmed that he has a PC desktop with the "latest graphics card" -- as the GPU editor of TweakTown, I'd like to think he has a GeForce RTX 3090.
Musk also confirmed that he has an Apple Mac and a GIGABYTE laptop as well, after being pinged by Whole Mars that talked about the recent swipes that Musk has made at Apple -- and the fact Musk tried to meet with Apple CEO Tim Cook on the thought of acquiring Tesla, but Cook denied that meeting.
Anyway, the SpaceX and Tesla founder replied saying that: "Actually, I like & use Apple products. They are just obviously overcharging with App Store. I mean 30% fees for doing almost zero incremental work is completely unreasonable. Epic wouldn't bother processing their own payments if App Store fees were fair".
Musk was then asked by @WDWSpeakers about the t ype of computer he uses, and that they had always wondered if he had a "massive custom-built machine" or preferred a more "contemporary sleek workstation". Musk replied, saying: "PC desktop with latest graphics card, although I have a Mac too. GIGABYTE laptop".

But here's what Gates did: he bought a program from a small software company called the Quick and Dirty Operating System (or Q-DOS), for the price of 75,000$. Q-DOS was, in fact, a ripoff of Gary's CPM program. He then changed its name to MS-DOS (Microsoft DOS) and licensed it to IBM.
Tesla has been able to redesign how chips are used in their car. They have a new network inside that enables the newest Model S to use 20 microcontroller chips instead of 80. The supply of 80 MCU chips is enough for four cars instead of one. Tesla makes their own chip design for their self-driving system.
Released in 2021, Tesla claimed at the time that it was the fifth most powerful supercomputer in the world, with 5,760 Nvidia A100s throughout the system. This latest upgrade has added 1,600 GPUs to the system, though the company's self-estimated ranking has dropped two spaces.
This means that Tesla's twin chips, with their combined 72 teraflops, pack nearly 150 million times the computing power that took astronauts Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins to the Moon.
Gates said he uses an Android because he wants "to keep track of everything," during an interview on Clubhouse in 2021. He said he'll "often play around with iPhones," but depends on his Android because he's used to it.
The first version of Windows was released in 1985, and the operating system has now become an industry standard and the most popular of computer operating systems. Microsoft's success propelled Gates into wealth beyond his wildest dreams. At the age of 31, he was a billionaire.
AMD is officially providing the guts — during its Computex 2021 keynote, the chipmaker just revealed that the new Tesla infotainment system consists of an AMD Ryzen processor with its own integrated graphics paired with a discrete AMD RDNA 2 GPU.
Tesla Dojo is a supercomputer designed by Tesla for computer vision video processing and recognition to train its machine learning models to assist its Autopilot advanced driver-assistance system.
NASA has chosen these CPUs to power its next generation of spaceflight computers. NASA selects RISC-V chip designer SiFive to help replace its aging and over-designed spaceflight computers.
The average electric vehicle (EV) has upwards of 3,000 chips, more than double that of a non-electric vehicle, and the rising number of chips not only adds to the complexity of the vehicle but the associated cyber risk, according to cybersecurity firm Cycuity.
Last year, Elon Musk revealed that Tesla's new custom AI chips will be “the best in the world”. Here are more details about the new Tesla chips expected to launch next year. Last year, Elon Musk confirmed that Tesla is building its own customised Artificial Intelligence-based chipsets.
Dependence on a Single Market: Tesla heavily depends on the electric vehicle market, which is still a relatively small portion of the overall automotive market. ...
Production Challenges: Tesla has previously struggled with production, mainly its Model 3 sedan.
The good news is that the infotainment computer is now integrated into the main board, which means the GPU daughterboard has disappeared, making the whole unit slimmer. The bad news is that the infotainment power remains the same as before, with a 256 GB NVMe storage unit, 16 GB of RAM, and the same AMD CPU and GPU.
The D1, according to Tesla, features 362teraFLOPS of processing power. This means it can perform 362 trillion floating-point operations per second (FLOPS), Tesla says.
This upgrade is available for $2,250 plus applicable tax, including installation, for vehicles equipped with Autopilot Computer 2.0 or 2.5 and for $1,750 plus applicable tax, including installation, for all other vehicles.
Tesla has revamped its Dojo supercomputer and it is so powerful that it was able to trip the power grid in Palo Alto, reveals a report by Electrek. The platform has been developed from scratch for AI machine learning, with special emphasis on video training using video data collected from all of its vehicles.
Linux systems are used as remote terminals for C&C MDM and Windows for viewing emails, browsing and entertainment. Regarding the software for the flight control of the Falcon 9, it would have been written in C / C ++, a language that Elon Musk masters. This software runs in parallel on the three installed computers.

He is a self-taught programmer and while his programming skills may not be as proficient as the top programmers, yet, he knows Java, Python, C, Pearl, Shell, ML stacks, and wrote OpenAI libraries.
The flight software of SpaceX is written in both C and C++. C is strongly associated with UNIX, as it was developed to write the UNIX operating system. C is a function-driven language because C is a procedural programming language. Therefore, for advancement, when required, SpaceX uses C++ programming language.
NASA mostly uses Ubuntu Linux kernel (PANASAS mainly)and some uses Unix based operating systems. Unix is quite older operating system now and most of the NASA's system hence uses Linux based operating system.
Linux is built to handle the most demanding corporate application needs, including network and system administration, database management, and web services. Because of its reliability, security, and versatility, Linux servers are frequently chosen over other server operating systems.
The Python programming language is well known for its flexibility and use in machine learning-based technology. Elon Musk's iconic company, Tesla, operates on an operating system built on the Python programming language.
Autobidder is hosted on Tesla's highly reliable and secure cloud infrastructure that is engineered to perform large-scale complex computation and is capable of interfacing with market operators, network providers and customer networks via secure web APIs.
Although Elon Musk never had a 9-5 desk job as a programmer he did play a major role in coding his original start-up, Zip2. A company co-founded by Elon and his brother in 1995. The software was used to provide a searchable business directory with maps of local businesses.
