Even the supersonic jet company has an AI story A power plant and a jet engine share the same basic components; the major aircraft engine makers also sell power gen products. As our power needs increase with data center usage, Boom can help. Pretty cool 2nd product!

A new product, a new customer, a new financing! Introducing Superpower: a 42MW natural gas turbine optimized for AI datacenters, built on our supersonic technology. Superpower launches with a 1.21GW order from @CrusoeAI Backstory 🧵👇

Assuming average fare of $20 (from SF numbers), the average Waymo does $187k of revenue a year (~25 rides per day) Car cost today is probably. ~$200k but next gen should be <$100k At today’s prices it will be very profitable, though competition should drive prices down.

NEWS: Waymo is now providing over 450,000 paid Robotaxi rides per week, up from 250,000 per week in April 2025. Waymo has 2,500 robotaxis in its fleet: • San Francisco Bay Area: 1,000 • Los Angeles: 700 • Phoenix: 500 • Austin: 200 • Atlanta: 100 Total: 2,500 vehicles

This makes sense to me In general: states regulate people-level impacts, and the federal government regulates system-level risks.
