HyperChangeHyperChangeDisrupting The Snack Industry 🥜 with Josh Schroeter of South 40 SnacksMy conversation with snack industry LEGEND Josh Schroeter, the Founder and CEO of South 40 Snacks. South 40 Snacks is a Seattle-based snack startup selling fruit and nut bars. I've been invested in the company for almost 4 years now and have watched them grow from $1.5M in sales to ~$12M this year. I wanted to talk to Josh on HyperChange about what it's like to build a snack brand and why he thought he was going to be able to disrupt the nut bar category against giants like KIND bar and Peter Rahal's new David Bar. I'm a big fan of...2025-07-1032 minHyperChangeHyperChangeWill Tesla get into the Drone Business? 🕹️One of my most controversial ideas about Tesla yet .... will they enter the drone business, possibly in a collab with SpaceX? As discussions heat up between Elon Musk and Naval about the US falling behind in drone manufacturing capabilities (and the national security concerns that come with that) the obvious question arises, will Elon just fix this problem himself? Tesla has the battery, motor and manufacturing tech to pull it off, but is that the future we believe in?? What are your thoughts?My theory is Elon won't do drones if he doesn't own majority/more of Tesla.My...2025-07-0906 minHyperChangeHyperChangeHenry Dierkas (@HenryInvests) on Tesla StockAsking the 21 year-old investing wiz Henry Invests about his thoughts on Tesla stock.

This up and coming 21 year-old financial influencer has made a name for himself covering Upstart stock. The software company uses AI to determine if customers are worth lending too, essentially creating it's own algorithm that is more accurate than the FICO score. Henry pitches us the stock and explains his bullcase. He believe Upstart could eventually be a $1,000 stock, if not more, if they can fulfill their potential as the AI credit platform of the future.

Elon Musk sounded insanely focused and dialed in as he explained Tesla is planning to launch an self-driving robotaxi service in Austin in June of THIS YEAR.

Additionally, with Optimus and Cybercab Elon retierates he believes not only that Tesla will be the world's most valuable company ... but more valuable than the world's next 5 largest companies combined.

Tesla stock is up 15% to its highest level in more than a year. What does this new American era mean for Tesla investors? A lot of the regulatory scrutiny (FSD, Elon's Pay Package) seems like it will go away. The regulatory approval path for FSD / Cybercab got way easier. And mainly, I think investors are just hyped because it means Elon and Tesla will be left alone to execute on their massive vision.

The trifecta of technology pillars that Elon & squad have developed (battery and driving train, self driving & mass market sustainable manufacturing) are combining to disrupt transportation, energy and soon labor (with the Optimus robot).

Tesla has the opportunity to install more energy efficient systems, combined with smart heating/cooling, and air filtration to hyperchange this industry.

We pitched a moonshot in 2017 that Warren Buffett should buy 5% of Tesla for $3B (which would now be worth more than $20B). It's ok, better late than never! What do you think ? Are the rumors true?

Tesla's biggest constraint on growth is they don't have enough batteries.
