They did get a bunch of investment grants from Trump, so your tax money (and power bills) are subsidizing them. They also arranged for ETFs to eliminate consumer protection rules to force everyone’s retirement to buy SpaceX/Anthropic/OpenAI shortly after IPO. That totals $3T in valuation (unless it goes up in first week trading), so your retirement is basically going to be weighing “AI bubble” similar to “MAGA”, and then everything else is rounding error. (The rule changes waive profitability requirements, and shorten the cooldown from IPO to indexing from a year to weeks).

I guess that’s one way to try to make capital finite.
