Meta's $1,000 Bull Case: How Muse AI Changes The Valuation Game | IBD

Walmsley calls Muse an offensive bet and orders the money: subscriptions, then business agents in WhatsApp and Messenger ads, then an enterprise API, with consumer agent revenue in 2028 or 2029. Amazon has already blocked Muse on its storefront, so the near-term revenue that doesn't depend on the consumer agent comes through advertisers, where Meta already owns the relationship. Against Apollo's flat 493, this is intelligence paired with an owned counterparty and glasses context.

Is AI Profitable Yet? — $1.4T Spend vs $613B Revenue, Attribution as the Unfalsifiable Hinge

A solo-dev dashboard puts cumulative industry AI spend at $1.4T against $613B in direct revenue — 33% recovery for pure labs, 7% for hyperscalers, and NVIDIA the only company in the dataset where AI revenue is actually cash-generative. The methodology excludes indirect revenue (Search ad lift, Copilot bundle stickiness, Bedrock attach) because attribution is genuinely unreliable, which is precisely the part the bull case depends on. Bull and bear are consistent with the same data; in public markets, unfalsifiable narratives don't unwind gradually.
