"Get out of debt" is funny because his whole shtick is always being in debt. But yes, his creditors are probably asking to be paid out so he needs to milk SpaceX. Luckily, he can take the company public with a tiny float so that index inclusion drives the share price through the roof, allowing him to borrow against considerably greater assets.

You may have noticed Zuck is continually trying to make or buy the Next Big Thing. Elon mostly just wants to keep the lights on and shape content to his personal interests.

Please explain Tesla, spacex, PayPal, the boring company, xAI in your context of "just wants to keep the lights on"

Mecha Hitler the centrist.

Currently ad-free LLMs.

They show them now but yeah they're another ad driven service in waiting. That's ultimately the end for Meta. When ad dollars go from websites to LLMs.

That's why Zuck is desperately trying to build Meta AI. It's an ad company, they couldn't care less whether their vehicle is websites or LLMs. But they do need the LLMs if they want to continue to sell ads.
