Wall Street is hyping a trillion dollar IPO, but what if it’s a ticking time bomb?
OpenAI’s explosive growth hides a flaw that could shake markets, and your retirement.
A $750B-$1T valuation sounds unstoppable, but it only works if everything goes perfectly.
Unlike traditional software giants, AI doesn’t scale cheaply. Every prompt burns real resources (power, chips, cooling), turning growth into a cost multiplier instead of profit.
And the ripple effects could be brutal. To fund a massive IPO, institutional money may be pulled from companies like Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia, triggering selling pressure across the S&P 500.
Once public filings reveal the true cost of AI infrastructure, the narrative could collapse overnight.
Is this the next tech revolution, or the biggest market illusion yet?
