Wall Street Analysts Are Comparing This To Enron — We Had To React
"They lost $20.9 billion in 2025 and things are only getting worse. And what's crazy as well was over $800 million of Open AI's revenue came from SoftBank for their Crystal Intelligence. And yes, that's really what it's called. Their Crystal Intelligence program, which I can find no evidence of actually anything happening."
Ed Zitron, citing his prior financial reporting on OpenAI, claims the company lost $20.9bn in 2025. He also alleges that more than $800m of OpenAI revenue came from SoftBank for a “Crystal Intelligence” programme, and says he cannot find evidence the programme produced anything substantive.
