- Michael Dell calls Elon Musk "definitely the most demanding customer there is" in an interview.
- Dell built half the servers for the Colossus One AI supercomputer in a record 6 weeks.
- No bonus, but Musk rewarded Dell with additional business for the fast delivery — a repeating pattern, per Dell.
- He also claims Dell is now #1 in AI infrastructure. Separately, Musk mused about mining lunar silicon and aluminum to build AI satellites' solar cells and radiators on the moon, shipping only the chips from Earth.
