abstract: The $65B annualized revenue figure contradicts basic arithmetic: a $9B run rate in 'late 2025' would imply negative time travel or fictional accounting. No source is named, no methodology disclosed, and no financial documentation (e.g., invoices, contracts, audited statements) is cited. The claim appears in a headline-only wire snippet with zero contextual verification, narrative framing, or explanatory detail.
