  Different decade, same math: half the S&P 500 is priced at levels that a dot-com CEO called proof of investor insanity while watching his company crater 90%. The rotation at the top: In early 2000, the ten most valuable S&P 500 companies read like a monument to permanent dominance: Microsoft, General Electric, Cisco, Walmart, ExxonMobil, Intel, Lucent, IBM, Citigroup, AOL. A generation later, only Microsoft remains. GE was carved into three separate companies. Lucent was absorbed by Nokia. AOL became the cautionary tale attached to the worst merger in corporate history. Cisco and Intel spent 25 years climbing back to their dot-com peaks. Citigroup, IBM, Walmart, and ExxonMobil still exist, but none crack the top ten. The new top ten is Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and the AI infrastructure complex. Investors in 2000 were also certain they were buying the future's permanent giants. The data says most of today's winners won't be in the top ten a generation from now either, and there is no mechanism by which you find out which ones survive in advance. The valuation problem: In 2002, after Sun Microsystems collapsed 90%, CEO Scott McNealy explained to investors exactly what a 10x sales multiple actually demands: 100% of revenues paid as dividends for ten consecutive years, with zero costs, zero R&D, zero taxes, and zero employees. He was describing the math of the price investors had paid for his stock as a form of collective psychosis. Today, 51% of the S&P 500 by market cap trades above 10x sales. Half the index. The AI narrative is functioning as the dot-com narrative functioned: a story compelling enough to make the math feel optional. The math has never been optional.

  @AOL Oh look, another day, another broke-*** tabloid skeleton rattling its bones for clicks in 2026. @AOL yes, the same @AOL that’s been gasping for relevance since dial-up died rolling up like “Hey guys, remember that time we tried to cancel Michael Jackson with a raid that turned up NOTHING? Let’s rehash the ‘infamous’ Neverland Ranch again because Netflix needs your streams and we need ad revenue from you dummies who still click this trash

  @AzzaliahC @ICQ Xfire and Skype both opened in 2003, June 2015 and May 2025 accordingly shut down. Where were you then? Or even Google Chat (2005- June 2017). If you cared about actual quality, you would have used AIM since at least 2010 (AOL literally bought ICQ in 1998, same owner!) or use IRC

  Now my @yahoo account never once has stated that I’m outta storage nor asked me to purchase extra data. And that’s the first account I’ve had since @aol and that was after you got that blue cd from Walmart to get a trial period on the internet.

  @ThrillaRilla369 AOL. I lost my *** on that garbage company when my brokerage managed account doubled down on AOL-Time Warner.

  @unusual_whales You don't issue $60 billion in equity for a code editor unless you privately know your own paper is wildly overvalued. The AOL playbook never really dies.
