1. IPO. I'm guessing they can IPO at $1 trillion valuation today. Maybe raise a cool $200b instantly.

2. Continue private investment route getting investments from Saudis, Nvidia, Oracle, Microsoft, and Softbank.

3. Grow revenue 3-4x each year. ~$13b this year. ~$52b next year. Throw all of it into data centers.

So it is possible.
