It's an artificial intelligence company.<\/p>\r\n \r\n      <p>Analysts called Elon Musk a fraud. The media predicted Tesla would crash. Anyone who listened to Brown had a chance to turn <strong>$1,000 into more than $22,500<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n \r\n      <p>Before that, he flagged <strong>Nvidia in 2016<\/strong> \u2014 years before anyone tied it to AI. Up <strong>23,000%<\/strong> since. He called <strong>Bitcoin at $240<\/strong> before a 52,400% run.
