According to Barron's, the market might have assumed that Tesla would offer bulk buyers a certain discount. However, that was not the case. It turned out that one of the largest buyers of the Tesla Cybertruck was none other than SpaceX. Musk's rocket company spent $131 million to purchase the futuristic-looking pickup truck. According to the S-1 IPO registration statement filed by SpaceX, the EVs were purchased "at Tesla's manufacturer's suggested retail price." SpaceX did not receive any discount. Based on this amount, approximately 1,600 trucks could be purchased. This figure accounted for roughly 8% of the total Cybertrucks Tesla sold in the US market in 2025.

Gartner predicts that by 2030, new-type cloud (neo cloud) providers will account for 20% of the AI cloud market, or $267 billion. These new-type cloud providers are differentiating themselves through high-performance, flexible deployment of AI workloads, combined with a strong commitment to data sovereignty, and their pricing is typically more competitive. The AI cloud market is entering a new phase where sovereignty, performance, and infrastructure specialization have become the primary factors in enterprise decision-making. Demand for GPU-intensive workloads is accelerating, making it difficult for conventional cloud models to keep pace, thereby creating opportunities for new-type cloud providers to deliver AI infrastructure at scale.
