They then dissect SpaceX's record $85B IPO (the largest ever) that made Elon Musk the world's first trillionaire, with Sacks framing wealth as 'the machines that make the stuff' and praising SpaceX's discounted acquisition of Cursor. The longest segment covers the U.S. government's shutdown of Anthropic's Fable model (a guardrailed Mythos): Sacks reports that Anthropic shared Mythos with a White-House-suspect partner, that Amazon flagged a jailbreak, and that Dario refused to take Fable down until a letter was sent — while Chamath warns the frontier labs' immaturity is handing hyperscalers a KYC-gatekeeping oligopoly, and Friedberg predicts market forces will instead fragment the AI stack as happened with IBM.
