Remember when Sam Altman was out there talking up 1.4 trillion dollars in spending commitments like it was already in the bag? Now CNBC says OpenAI is targeting "only" 600 billion by 2030 while dreaming of 280 billion in revenue that same year.
So your telling me they're supposedly doing about 13.1 billion in revenue this year (2025). Jumping to 280 billion by 2030 means roughly 20 times more money coming in over the next five years. That's not just growth, that's borderline fantasy math.
Meanwhile Europe is pouring serious money into building its own sovereign AI and independent infrastructure so it doesn't have to keep begging American companies for access. So why on earth would Europeans (or anyone outside the US hype bubble) keep bankrolling OpenAI's monster bills when their own governments are racing to build local alternatives?
Europeans in the comments...... are you still cool with funding America's AI empire, or are you finally done playing second fiddle? article: https://mrkt30.com/can-openai-rely-on-europe-for-its-280b-revenue-goals-by-2030/
