How DOOMERS Will CHANGE SpaceX and AGI
Overall Thesis
AI frontier model development is accelerating rapidly with serious safety concerns raised by whistleblowers, which has macro implications for tech companies like Tesla, SpaceX, Nvidia, and Micron.
Narratives
Joe believes Tesla and SpaceX will largely be spared from the market fallout he expects once AI-doom fears about ASI regulation intensify by 2029, but he acknowledges Tesla could fall sharply to $140 or even $100 in adverse scenarios like a broad market crash. He frames these downside numbers explicitly as conditional 'ifs' rather than his base case.
Key Arguments
- He predicts 2029 policy measures targeting frontier AI will not harm Tesla or SpaceX.
- He does not expect a Robotaxi fatal crash or rate hikes to hit Tesla in the near term.
Joe expects Nvidia to be unfairly but heavily punished by the market once fears about a halt to frontier AI training and terrestrial compute buildout spread, likely around 2028, even though he believes fundamentally inference demand will keep growing. He sees this as a market overreaction rather than a reflection of Nvidia's actual business prospects.
Key Arguments
- He expects the market to overreact against Nvidia once AI-doom/regulation narrative becomes mainstream.
- He believes a halt to training does not mean a halt to inference, which should keep growing, but the market won't fully price that in.
- He expects semiconductors broadly to get hit badly when this narrative 'blows up,' though he thinks that could take about another year.
Joe groups Micron with the broader memory/semiconductor space that he expects the market to overreact against once fears of an AI training buildout halt spread, likely by around 2028. He separately notes Micron dropped on news of an Intel-funded RAM manufacturing venture that he views skeptically.
Key Arguments
- He expects the market to overreact on memory stocks like Micron amid AI-doom/regulation narrative.
- He views the Intel-funded Kepler RAM venture news, which coincided with a Micron drop, as 'a little scammy' or dubious.

Hedges & Caveats
- Host acknowledges this is macro-level discussion, not tactical trading advice
- Host notes audience may find existential AI risk discussion less exciting than immediate trading opportunities
- Concerns presented are based on whistleblower claims, not definitive evidence
- Host frames this as a conversation to explore implications rather than making definitive claims
