Elon's co-investors in Twitter got an exit that didn't totally embarrass them by merging Twitter into XAI. The price for this dubious fig leaf was to invest in XAI. Now we get evidence of false claims about...

A. having the amount of Nvidia GPUs he claims to have, or...

B. being able to power those chips.

Or both. I haven't bought into Ed Zitron's theory that there are lots of unpowered racks, and chips in warehouses depreciating waiting for power. But stories like this are giving dark fiber. Except dark fiber remains economically viable when you light it up, even many years later. When do the investors get nervous?
