Mixed
Confidence: 65%

Dot-com companies bought 14 Super Bowl ads in 2000. Most were dead within a year. Crypto companies spent $54M on Super Bowl ads in 2022. FTX was bankrupt by November. AI companies just spent $250M on Super Bowl ads in 2026. 23% of all ad slots. The Super Bowl doesn't pick winners. It marks tops.

Summary

The tweet contains a mix of accurate and misleading claims. The assertion about dot-com companies and FTX's bankruptcy is supported by evidence, but the claim regarding AI companies' spending in 2026 is speculative and lacks verification.
