  • 100%. They’ve announced the plans for SpaceX to have an IPO, this will basically eliminate all of his losses even if they just shut down xAI immediately following acquisition (which they won’t do just yet, because people are still bag holding AI investments.)
    This guy might be a dumb fuck, but he’s the smartest dumb fuck in the billionaire game.

    Edit: Some of his capital investors might have told him that they want out of xAI because they see where the wind is blowing. This gets them out with profit if they pull it off fast enough.
    This (SpaceX IPO) is going to be a massive rug pull, for the 2nd round of public traders and I bet that he’s got structure in place to ensure that even after selling billions of dollars of shares he still holds 51% or some shit, or that his annual compensation is $0+1% of the company.
    10 years ago I would have bought into a SpaceX IPO. Not today.







  • Except that statement wasn’t said by royalty, it’s a misattributed mistranslation of a snippet from Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s Confessions.
    It was written 9 years before Marie Antoinette became queen and while she was still a child and had not yet traveled to France.
    This is a classic case of the victors writing history. This quote has been used countless times to try to illustrate that the royalty was out of touch (which I’m neither arguing for nor against here,) however there’s no evidence it was ever spoken by the Queen - indeed it wasn’t attributed to her at all for many years after her death.
