@Griffin_Too @0xCygaar The only thing worse than both are those who refer to themselves in the 3rd person.

The implication is that anyone could turn 300k into a trillion dollars if they had rich parents.
ً@omgsidewalks
No billionaire actually built a billion dollar company through hard work. Apple’s cofounder said the garage story is a myth. Bezos got a $300k investment from his parents. Google’s founders were Stanford grads with access to venture capital. Stop promoting the bootstrap ideology.

There's a severely underserved market niche for criticism of Elon Musk that isn't completely fucking retarded.
JerryRigEverything@ZacksJerryRig
Yeah - sure guys - Elon is totally going to load up his $20,000,000 dollar untested AI space satellite onto his Starship rocket that blows up 41.7% of the time. Instead of just building it on the ground for 1/10th the cost and zero risk. Go give him your entire life savings.

Not to be a bootlicker, but do people really think that SpaceX would invest a shit load of money into something if they didn't think it was going to work?
JerryRigEverything@ZacksJerryRig
You know the reason your Stanley or Hydroflask is so good at keeping your water cold is because there's a vacuum inside the walls of the thermos. Heat can't conduct in a vaccum. And "radiated" heat is ineffective at the temperatures processors operate at. This satellite will be like plugging in your gaming PC without a CPU cooler. It'll be dead in minutes.

@Griffin_Too @thunderf00t 👆[question competence] [throw in an vague unrelated question or statement to assert own competence] Dumbfucks don't know how transparent they are in reality.
English
@NiceDay42 @thunderf00t Um, yes? Do you know how IPOs work? They are in fact "even more required"
English
@Griffin_Too @thunderf00t Does it also require to state that you have past losses, even if you had no?
Its a pretty important part in the answer you seem to be entirely blind to notice.
English
@NiceDay42 @thunderf00t I did not, it is quite literally the exact same question.
English
@Griffin_Too @thunderf00t You question was pretty much answered, and you've tried to adjust the question underneath the answer retroactively:
English
@NiceDay42 @thunderf00t No, he didn't answer my question. He answered a question that I didn't ask, so I reiterated it.
English
@Griffin_Too @thunderf00t It means you had a question and you got it answered. If you have another question, put it as it - another question.
English
@igneouswx They've made progress on that, and people should never believe Elon's timelines.
My point was that people are assuming they don't think engineering through, like you not thinking through your comment. Because it's not related to what I said.
English
@ThatGMoney @ZacksJerryRig My guy, a good portion of that is profit. My point was that other revenue streams will be found
English
@Griffin_Too @ZacksJerryRig Revenue is not profit, my guy, and I said SpaceX (the entire company) was only marginally profitable. Starlink is a very profitable division of SpaceX, and the only reason the overall company had a profit. Once xAI was “acquired,” SpaceX went negative.
English
@ThatGMoney @ZacksJerryRig Marginally profitable as in Starlink having 1.5 billion in profit last year.
The Anthropic deal will bring in 1.25 billion of revenue a month.
xAI will be a big drain, but you are not serious.
It's fine if you don't like Elon
English
@Griffin_Too @ZacksJerryRig SpaceX was marginally profitable before Elmo ordered it to absorb the boat anchor that is xAI. Now it loses tens of billions of dollars per quarter.
English
@Griffin_Too I think the future is everyone adopting open models and the computer happening locally on device, not in datacenters.
English
@BHenny504 There is absolutely a circle jerk, I don't think consumer versions will survive without being heavily neutered. I don't believe AI is SpaceX's main business right now
English
@Griffin_Too Not at all. Just not impressed with the circle jerk of revenue by the AI ecosystem
English
@BHenny504 Everything can be cancelled.
I see you just learned of that deal didn't you.
English
@Griffin_Too I just don't see it being enough to offset the cash burn from xAI. On top of that, those contracts can be cancelled
