Interview summary and Musk’s reply
スライド 1 / 1Interview summary and Musk’s replyThe on-screen post summarizes Patel’s claims and shows Musk responding “Accurate.”

Matthew Berman says Elon Musk confirmed a clip from his interview with Dylan Patel. In the on-screen social-media exchange, Musk replies “Accurate” to a summary of Patel’s remarks. Patel says xAI had about 200,000 GPUs running, had purchased another factory in Memphis and was building a new data center.

Patel recalls xAI’s use of mobile generators, then says the company bought a power plant overseas and planned to ship it to the United States because it could not get a new plant in time. He says the equipment is intended to power the next generation of xAI’s supercomputer. As presented in July 2025, this is a reported purchase and plan: the clip does not establish the plant’s source, precise technology, shipment date or operational status.
