Honestly, I think the layoffs are just cover to shore up the stock price before quarter-end and keep the gravy train rolling. This is a cycle that isn't repeatable permanently, because eventually you have to actually produce something other than a talking parrot that gets a lot of shit wrong.
Q3 2027, maybe sooner if a general economic crash happens first. If you look at the loans and terms of some of the bigger investments Q2/Q3 is around when banks and investors start calling in loan payments and profits.
That's good info. Thank you!
