02:16Full Transcript
[00:01] much money is going in to fund all this artificial intelligence. It's just artificial intelligence. It's just getting started. This weekend, Elon Musk getting started. This weekend, Elon Musk said he successfully raised $40 billion
[00:14] to go buy more of Jensen's product. Man, I'd be having a my tie if I were Jensen I'd be having a my tie if I were Jensen tonight. But that's just an appetizer for what Elon is trying to pull off. I think he's trying to get to over $400
[00:29] billion dollars of money raised between now and the end of next year. That's insane. Imagine like I think all of us would jump up and down if we're like,
[00:41] "Hey, we raised $40 million to go buy houses, let's say, over the next year." houses, let's say, over the next year." He's raising 40 billion as an appetizer and it's going to be 10x that really soon, which is freaking crazy. Okay, so
[00:56] soon, which is freaking crazy. Okay, so there's that. Then the other thing is you've got Meta that just came out and said, "Hey guys, why don't we join the party because and they literally put this in their filing. We actually think
[01:08] that now might be an okay time to raise, but it might not always end up being like this. the time to raise money might be expiring because there's just going So, we're going to issue what's called a shelf offering, which means anytime we
[01:21] want, we could take shares off of the shelf and dump them onto the market. Now, Meta's already down $100 since this, but literally in their filing, want debt. We're just going to issue shares because we think now we can pull
[01:33] it off and otherwise we don't want to mess up our credit rating. By the way, we're going to raise $90 billion, which is 2.25x 25x Elon Musk's appetizer. Then Anthropic conveniently files to go public. In other words, they released
[01:48] confidentially filed to go public. Now they've made it all public. Honestly, because I think they got a phone call from Donnie T going, "Yo, we're about to sign a deal with Iran. Things's about to go to the moon. Drop y'all IPO." And
[02:01] go to the moon. Drop y'all IPO." And then I could be the IPO presidente. I think the only reason the market was up today because Donald Trump's insiders are all buying. Okay, that's really really jaded. But honestly, if we get a
[02:16] went on a run. If we get a deal with Iran, is it possible the market could sustain all of these fundraisers and more? Honestly, yeah, it's definitely
[02:29] possible. In fact, I would say based on how Jensen revealed, he kind of said the quiet part out loud, AI's only gotten good in the last 6 months. I think if we get a deal with Iran or Iran pain fades away, the
[02:43] party might actually just be getting started.
