> Microsoft invests $13B in OpenAI, and OpenAI spends $13B on Azure.

This isn't deceiving any investors.

It's Microsoft increasing its revenue by selling its stock.



Microsoft isn't selling any stock. It's using its cash.

And an increase in revenue isn't the point. Microsoft isn't doing this to try to bump its short-term stock price or anything -- investors know where revenue is coming from. Microsoft is doing it because it thinks OpenAI is a good investment and wants to make money with that investment and have greater control.
