Facebook's IPO was something like ~20x revenue and 100x earnings. If SpaceX IPOs at $1.5T, that's nearly 80x revenue and if you buy their 'adjusted' EBITDA figures, 230x earnings. Not quite an order of magnitude, but su

Rings true in my org -- finance is a big consumer because all the software shops who do integration work with CRMs and ERPs are garbage and take forever to implement changes and via some clever prompting, you can obviate most of that work.

That’s the academic theory behind these markets, but there’s no actual value to knowing who the most searched celebrity will be or any of this other garbage. It’s just an unregulated casino with guesses about the popularity of Google search

It's equally important to note that the current administration is absolutely gutting those formerly non-political permanent hires and replacing them with apparatchiks. It's going to be very difficult to remove them all from offic

Right. Futures markets exist to hedge some already present risk.. airlines can buy fuel futures to protect against the risk of fuel price rises, etc. Prediction markets create a new source of risk.
