Microslop and Oracle are already way down from their highs. Only Nvidia as the shovel seller still performs well.

People generally hate AI. The IPO price will be inflated and the stock will drop 10% on the first day, like many late stage IPOs in the 2000 bubble.

Friends and family like the Kushners will cash out. Trump might even suspend wars around the IPO date.

The Pokemon Industrial Complex has advanced astroturfing especially on YouTube/Twitch, where streamers mention the damn things in any second episode, they "accidentally" meet people going to Pokemon conventions in live streams and so on.

Try to audit the Wiki if anyone abused it.
