Questions to inspire discussion
Tesla's Future Market Cap
๐ Q: How large could Tesla's market cap become by 2040?
A: According to Joe Bhakdi's financial model, Tesla's market cap could reach $645 trillion by 2040, making it 20 times larger than the US GDP, driven by Optimus, autonomous cars, robot revolution, and global labor market takeover.
๐ Q: How does Tesla's projected market cap compare to the US GDP?
A: Tesla's projected market cap of $500 trillion by 2045 would be 200% of the US GDP, which is 7 times bigger than Nvidia's expected 30% of US GDP in 3 years, making it a potentially reasonable scenario.
Economic Growth Predictions
๐ Q: What is the predicted US GDP growth rate for the next 15 years?
A: Joe Bhakdi predicts the US GDP will grow at an average of 11% per year over the next 15 years, primarily driven by AI, despite potential societal challenges.
๐ค Q: How will AGI impact the US economy in the coming years?
A: The US economy is expected to experience massive productivity growth through AGI starting next year, partly due to Tesla, other AI companies, and massive unemployment, driving nominal GDP growth of 11% annually for the next 20 years.
Historical Economic Context
๐ Q: What has been the US GDP growth rate in recent years?
A: The US GDP has grown over 9% in the last 4 years, including 11% in 2020, and has also exceeded 8% growth in many years since 1941, with notable peaks of 28% in 1942 and 13% in 1978.
Nvidia's Market Position
๐ป Q: How does Nvidia's market cap compare to the US GDP?
A: Nvidia's market cap is currently 15% of the US GDP at $4-5 trillion, and it's projected to reach 30% in the next 3 years if it maintains its current profit growth and share price increase.
