Saquon Barkley Tackles AI, Scores $10B Touchdown
In a plot twist nobody saw coming (except maybe Peter Thiel), NFL running back Saquon Barkley traded tackling defenders for tackling AI startup valuations. Joining a sleek $1.4 billion funding blitz, Barkley backed Crusoe, the so-called 'AI Factory Company' valued at over $10 billionābecause when you're jumping Jaguars on Sundays, why not jump into Nvidia-backed AI data centers on Mondays? The tech-savvy Eagles star didnāt just parachute in; his portfolio already flexes Neuralink, Anthropic, Polymarket, and even Founders Fund. He credits his investment chops to filthy endorsement cash and a self-appointed MBA via Peter Thiel's 'Zero to One.' Meanwhile, Crusoe hustles massive clean-energy data centers in Texas, apparently turning energy into intelligence because spilling Gatorade on the field wasnāt innovative enough.
