    Why would anyone give money to a business who has never ran in the black after 20 years? Just set your money on fire instead

      Dumb people are going to see headlines about “AI” and “the first social media IPO in a long time,” and they’re going fork over money. Also speculators are going to buy after they speculate that other speculators are going to buy speculatively.

        Yeah, this IPO will probably go just fine and a bunch of wankers will make a bunch of money. That’s what it’s all about, after all.

      Better, buy a lottery ticket with it. That way it might be worth as much as the ash you’d have anyway, but there’s a chance you’ll become a millionaire.

      Or Bitcoin, but fair warning: you might find yourself tempted to start a rap career, and that’s almost never advisable.
