No great insight behind it, just a stupid joke about the fake numbers that power the financial world.
Market cap = price per share × total number of shares
Price of share = amount paid to the company / number of shares received
So if I pay any amount to the company and receive *zero* shares, the price per share, and hence the market cap of the company goes to infinity 🤷🏻♂️
