The title is brain‑dead clickbait. “You Won’t Believe What Elon Musk Just Said” tees up a two‑word benediction — “becoming relevant” — as if that’s technical validation. If your pitch is a celebrity tweet, you’re out of ideas.
They parrot Google’s “verifiable quantum advantage” without showing any verification. No paper, no preprint, no code, no problem instance, no qubit count, no noise rates, no classical baseline. Could be a lab toy, could be cherry‑picked nonsense. They don’t touch error correction or scaling. They blur quantum computing, “quantum AI,” “advantage,” and “supremacy” into marketing mush. It has the scientific rigor of a horoscope.
The tone is pure PR. Alphabet sneezes, Motley Fool claps. Pichai posts, Musk nods, and suddenly we’re in a new era. Spare me. As our editor put it, they gush like star‑struck teenagers at a Tesla launch while stapling techno‑babble to sales copy.
The investing angle is a bumper sticker: “pure plays risky, big tech safer.” Where are the multiples, segment exposure, cash burn, runway, product pipelines, and actual quantum spend material enough to move Alphabet, Amazon, or Microsoft? Calling IonQ, Rigetti, and D‑Wave “meme” without numbers is lazy.
Basic facts don’t survive contact with a calendar. Dated Nov 2, 2025, then citing prices “as of December 1, 2025.” Volume 961k vs “Avg Vol 38M” with no source or sanity check. If you can’t copy a date, don’t lecture anyone about markets.
This isn’t journalism. It’s a PR puff‑piece with ads glued on, pompous aggression standing in for competence. The only quantum effect demonstrated is massive inflation of hot air. Wake me when there’s a paper, benchmarks, and independent replication. Until then, stop wasting investor attention with celebrity tweets.
