Elon Musk is building a multi-billion dollar tech giant with a workforce of zero. This isn't science fiction; it's his audacious new venture, and he's not-so-subtly calling it "Macrohard." Welcome to the inside story of the most disruptive startup of the decade. Elon Musk is launching Macrohard, a new AI company designed to take on Microsoft and other tech giants without hiring a single human developer. How? By building a corporation run entirely by AI agents. We'll take you inside the plans for "Colossus 2," a massive, 1 million square-foot data center in Memphis being built at impossible speed to house the AI's rapidly evolving mind. This podcast unpacks the ultimate troll in tech history and the profound implications for the future of work. We'll explore the irony of Microsoft indirectly helping Musk's other venture, xAI, while he openly mocks them. Is this just a rivalry, or is it the first step towards a fully autonomous company that can write its own software, manage its own projects, and change the world? From the name on the roof visible from space to the goal of creating an exponentially improving intelligence, Macrohard is Musk's next "impossible" project. This is the definitive guide to the company that could either be a work of genius or a spectacular failure. The AI revolution is here, and it's building its own headquarters. Subscribe now to follow the story of Macrohard from day one and witness the future being built.
