Your post would be very funny Charles (Actually is is a very funny read) if it weren't true! It turns very dark very quickly, thanks as ever for posting

I have little sympathy for anyone caught holding the bag on this one. The American market seems to have lost its marbles with some of the valuations and future projections that would be better published on the New York Times fiction bestseller list. The S-1 is a horror story of risks (along with noting the only thing making money, starlink, revenue per customer has dropped massively) and highlights it will still be controlled by one ketamine addled man.

I'm guessing 99.99% of retail will not read the S-1 and will be buying due to FOMO and will, as you suggest, see some gains day 1. Based on the Tesla share price I'd not be surprised to see the gains maintained until the insiders cash out. Thats when the crying will start.

This monkey looking for BTFD opportunities, as retail investors dump some of their AI related shares, to generate funds for these ridiculous IPOs.

It's ok, the US govt will invest in the Ai companies as well, so it will all be fine for the taxpayers of the world...
