Elon Musk shared a viral anecdote: someone who found a $200/month AI subscription too expensive spent $150k on two Mac Studios to self-host open-source LLMs — only to admit the local setup still isn't as good as the closed-source model. Musk's take: "Many such stories," poking fun at local deployments losing to top frontier models.
