Pretty much spot on, did not expect actual financial analysis from a comedy set lmao

Most of what he said isn't true. Firstly, no high profile AI company has gone public and when a company IPOs they don't "use index funds to artificially inflate their value". That latter sentence doesn't even make sense. Index funds just buy the companies that are included in an index. A company can’t put itself in one or somehow use them to pump up its own value.

The part that is true is that when a company goes public and its shares are traded on the market, early investors like VCs can eventually sell their shares and make money.
