Musk says growth will far exceed forecasts as energy remains the bottleneck

Replying to a growth forecast, Elon Musk claims growth "will accelerate far beyond that." Rachel expands: energy production is the number one bottleneck today, solved once orbital data centers arrive; chip and robot supply chains will take time to ramp, but double-digit growth for decades is a conservative goal. She calls this the best time to be alive, half-joking that limited wombs are the trickier bottleneck.
