One mantra rules everything right now in the AI space: BE FIRST! $SPCX pulled forward its earnings release date, $META rushes to form a new class of shares, and we'll see what the other hyperscalers have to say in the next 7-10 days. The Anthropic bankers cannot be happy with this disclosure from $META's new share class filing tonight (so many jewels in this document, it's a must read): "The Special Committee also recognized that timing is important to secure capital before competitors saturate various funding options. Recent significant capital raises at other notable companies, and others soon anticipated to take place, to fund the same AI growth—for example, Alphabet, SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI—have resulted in an increasingly challenging environment for raising capital. The Special Committee considered that, while the Company presently has sufficient capital resources for its current needs, in order to finance its funding needs going forward it would be prudent for the Company to do so before even more companies have absorbed available capital in the market." https://t.co/yVUhuq7dLb

As Jensen Huang puts it: "Demand is extraordinary. Capacity is the constraint."

$META financing capex through an equity raise that keeps the super voting shares in tact has me still on the ground rolling and laughing like an idiot. This is shit you would see out of a microcap crapco. Not a high flying “tech” company. Getting a lot of hate for talking shit. Because apparently Meta has to do this or they will “die”. I fail to see how an addictive social media platform that’s worse than smoking cigarettes is going to die by skipping out on this massive capex AI cycle. My god.
