## Quote — verbatim

> I'm building a little data center to be able to run my own AI... Elon was famously quoted about six months ago talking about how they can leverage GPUs in Teslas. There's a lot of compute on the edge that's just not being used.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Greg says decentralized software stacks leveraging idle edge compute are how Akash realistically reaches cloud market share.
