Get your shorts ready, this will be very interesting to follow. Seems like the stock will appear tomorrow already?

It’s quite literally in the disclosures and the article you are commenting on. They lost $151MM in 2022 and $90MM in 2023.

Source? All the ones I can find say they're still losing money. 800M in revenue but 940M in expenses for 2023. https://www.marketwatch.com/amp/story/reddits-ipo-raises-questions-about-profitability-heres-how-it-makes-money-01f73f04

According to that link, his salary was "only" half a million. Or does he get 193 million in stock each year?
