At least according to Ed Zitron, they only appeared profitable due to creative bookkeeping. They timed the announcement of their shitty “annualized revenue” to coincide with the few months of vastly reduced rent at the datacenter Musk rented to them as well as the shift to token based billing for enterprise customers. Their inference is likely not profitable.
You’ve made a wonderful meme that I can’t share with anyone, and I thank you for it.
