I think the xAI acquisition was a big tell though. How could a brand new, mostly irrelevant AI platform suddenly be worth over a hundred billion? No one can believe that xAI is somehow worth even a third of what Anthropic is worth, let alone most of what Anthropic is worth.

People put up with various other misleading claims or exaggerations. Battery tech. Roadster. FSD. But now the scheme of lying and manipulating things is so obvious. Not just with xAI but also the subscription switch for FSD. And the absurd push for space based datacenters. And the corruption involved in DOGE, as well as pushing to quickly secure FAA approval for 1 million satellites before this administration is kicked out of power at the midterms.

It’s clear this is one big scam, and unfortunately it may end up working. If they end up getting enough capital raised in an IPO, they may be able to use that capital to mostly catch up on the claims Musk has made.
