Is it? Remarkably Tesla’s compute bill does not seems to be growing exponentially with the amount of data it is supposedly collecting.
Point is I would not take anything Elon says at face value. He’s a marketer who is constantly bending the truth.
Have you actually watched the presentations? They are not the NSA storing all data from all cars on a giant hard-drive.
They are deploy code to cars to search for potential interesting, take lots of sample, curate and create a test and training set from that data.
Also how do you know what the Tesla compute bill is? Given their investment in GPU clusters and their own development of Dojo their cost may well have grown exponentially.

He is also a CEO of two major companies that have a good track record of achieving interesting technology and growth. So just denigrating him to a 'marketer' says more about yourself.
