Stripping away the premium artificial intelligence narrative reveals a standard middleman infrastructure: these entities absorb massive debt to source graphics processing units (GPUs) from NVIDIA, wrap them in data center real estate, and lease that compute capacity to hyperscalers and enterprise clients. The underlying unit economics of these neoclouds reflect an asset-leasing risk profile rather than a scalable software model with a moat or barrier to entry. Where financial disclosures are discernable, these operators display modest, mid-to-high single-digit pre-tax returns on invested capital (ROIC). This return profile is highly vulnerable to aggressive economic depreciation. If an operator amortizes its capital base using an over-optimistic useful-life assumption (e.g., 6 to 7 years) while the actual utility of the underlying chips faces technological obsolescence within 3 years due to rapid silicon advancement, real economic ROIC trends toward 0%.

This is pure comedy gold for the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury to call someone a brontosaurus with a walnut sized brain and imply he needs kneepads to do Soros bidding. Whether right or wrong, you be the judge, but this is better than any late-night comedy show...
