When this gets listed, your retirement savings will be obligated to support it whether it makes sense or not. If it tanks AI, or the broader economy, everyone will pay the price.

No matter what, your money is going to Elon and friends. That's one of the schemes.

There's plenty of other schemes too, like merging in Twitter and an AI company to confuse investors and inflate valuations.

I'm not calling it a scam either. I'm saying it entirely depends on whether this insane level of scheming causes people to lose a trillion dollars or gain a trillion dollars, then history will be rewritten to match the narrative.
