> A bit silly

Mm hmm

I mean the planets would fly off orbit

...such thoughtless justification is not really disproving comparison to "anything goes" discourse of other platforms with a nonsense appeal to empty normalization

100% designed to offload an empty bag onto retail investors

SpaceX is propped up entirely by government subsidy

It has no real sustainable business unlike SK Hynix, very much like OAI and Anthropic

What's silly is propping up ephemeral companies that burn resources and produce nothing

> offload an empty bag onto retail investors

This was a popular meme on Twitter and Reddit and YouTube, granted. The math doesn’t make sense with an index like the Nasdaq 100. But I’ll admit it’s a good story.

Colonies on Mars is a good story

Super intelligence is a good story

These companies are built on little more than "a good story" for politicians to sell to voters ..."i voted in Congress for that!"

You're arguing semantics

Economic math is being leveraged against innumerates as euphemism and obfuscation of same old avarice and political corruption. Biology is self selecting. There's no using rhetoric to wave off the ground truth is just a minority of the total population ensuring their own lived experience is put above everyone else's
