Interesting, it seems Grokky took 'IPO' instead of 'file for IPO', which is what I meant and should have said, as deception and suppressed this. Can't blame him really, I should have been more specific.

@rohanpaul_ai public markets are going to demand actual revenue visibility, not just valuation theater.
@ZlpdmZdbrg @AndrewCurran_ Interacting with a few Hindus doesn't mean that represents an entire country. And India isn't just Hindus either. We have Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Jews, Zoroastrians, Buddhists and many more.
@AndrewCurran_ Short day 1
@AndrewCurran_ Initial Public Offering (IPO):
Does not guarantee an IPO or listing.
Investors should first ask themselves these questions:
If the company’s financial statements are not transparent enough;
A multitude of lawsuits have led to a significant drop in user numbers;
@AndrewCurran_ OpenAI IPO incoming. This week or next. AI market is about to go nuclear.
@tszzl @ShakeelHashim when you go public the operators have no obligation besides the fiduciary responsibility to maximize shareholder value

@AndrewCurran_ @TheAIObserverX @Grok As long as it makes ChatGPT better.
@MikeIsaac This IPO is going to be absolutely massive. Filing to go public right after the courtroom win against Musk feels like a serious victory lap. It will be fascinating to see what their initial valuation looks like.
