> And when do those investors exit?

Who knows? Who cares? My point is that until those investors exit, there is no ROI.

The comment I originally responded to was talking about investors getting ROI from AI companies. I'm pointing out that no such thing will happen until the investors exit.

Nobody forces you or any other individual investor to buy shares in their “pump-and-dump company” when it lists.

Well, they certainly tried to, with SpaceX.
