. . . Is there a way a random punter could kick in, say, $100k towards Elon’s bid? Either they end up spending $100k on shares valued at somewhere between $100k and $150k; or, more likely, they make the seizure of OpenAI $100k harder at no cost to themselves.
That’s one millionth of the bid, 0.0001%. I expect the hassle of the paperwork to handle there being more than one bidder to be more trouble than it’s worth, akin to declaring a dollar you picked up on the street on your income tax forms.
True. But if things were opened up this way, realistically more than one person would want to get in on it. (Enough to cover an entire percentage point of the bid? I have no idea.)
You want to be an insignificant, and probably totally illiquid, junior partner in a venture with Elon Musk, and you think you could realize value out of the shares? In a venture whose long-term “upside” depends on it collecting money from ownership of AGI/ASI? In a world potentially made unrecognizable by said AGI/ASI?

All of that seems… unduly optimistic.
