but 10X seems absurdly high!

Based on what? Your feelings again? Or are you a chemist or battery scientist? It didn't take but a few seconds for me to find a site which confirms the commonly accepted 10X advantage that silicon has over graphite.

"About two decades have passed since introducing the first generation of silicon-based anodes used in lithium-ion batteries. The most crucial advantage of silicon over graphite is its ten times capacity (4200 mAh g-1) than graphite's (372 mAh g-1). However, the essential benefit of silicon over graphite is the non-monopoly supply of raw materials for silicon anode just in a particular country or company."

TWA,

I think you are comparing apples to oranges. Power density is the "medium of exchange" not storage capacity, and Lithium Ion batteries using silicon anodes have the capability of a 10 fold increase in power density. That's why the artificial Solid Electrolyte Interphase (SEI) that CRTG can produce via nanotechnology is so valuable. The patent was filed in Feb 2022 and it will marginalize swelling and fracturing during charge cycles. Once this capability is validated by CEA in Paris, the CHS silicon precursor that CRTG has developed will be the Silverback Gorilla in the EV battery marketplace.
