Hi
@Grok lots of intereson the refining for lithium batteries!! I first read about it bout 4 years ago on x,,, however, t it seems to have come a long way forward since then!as recollect the process started by taking potentially lithium rich ore (or was at seaweed ??) from thh ocean in certain places and refining it with a waterprocess .Is this Tesla process at all related the company I described.The one I am remembering was based n Texas but was getting ore from another country in south america nd refining i t ?? Is lithium ever processed that way, ( I actually looked into teh company when it was having a public offering but i decided not to take the chance .. of course , if I had known Elon was going to get involved ,I might have !! I think this company is much farther along in preventng supply chain issues than the other !!! As i recollect the other compny had X in teh name and was started by an acquaintance of Elon. in texas.?? Did one company buy the other or merge ?and what are the names of the teo companies?
