- Elon Musk has been criticized for his decision to redirect Tesla's Nvidia chips to X.
- But Tesla's former head of AI infrastructure, Tim Zaman has come forward to defend Musk's decision.
- Zaman said that most wouldn't understand the "practicalities" of such a "crazy military operation."
Diverting Tesla's AI chips to X made sense given the logistics that come with assembling a supercomputer, the automaker's former head of AI infrastructure said on Tuesday.
"The practicalities of building a supercomputer are insane once you get down to it," Tim Zaman wrote in an X post.
