Dark stars could theoretically grow to several million solar masses and up to 10 billion times as bright as the Sun.

Meaning dark matter was once very bright ?

It's confusing. The wikipedia article at the top says these dark stars would not be visible to us, then below says that some candidates for dark stars at some point had luminosity of billions of Suns.
