To put this in some perspective, the U.S. government's Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) was originally authorized for $700 billion during the 2008 financial crisis."

I'm not being sarcastic I really want to know why it matters beyond the usual some rich dude is going to be slightly less rich and get 2 fewer country club invitations this winter"

Also a lot of evidence that Nvidia hardware ending up in China despite export ban, which suggested to anyone with a pulse Nvidia might sell to smugglers/straw buyers. But Alice makes it VERY bad"

#Via Emey / meyerson 8:59 PM · Nov 11, 2026 "The US economy would be in recession if not for the AI build out, and that build out is being overwhelmingly funded by Nvidia. They are the central banker to the entire tech economy. Huang is the founder and singular leader."

Think dot.com era bubble."

#Via Lizard / lizardky 9:02 PM · Nov 11, 2026 "Simply put, the entire massive economic delusion that is AI is like a bunch of acrobats balanced on a beach ball called 'Nvidia', and the CEO of Nvidia will have to cut the beach ball in half to give to his wife, and also the beach is lava and the acrobats have nowhere to land when the ball is gone."

#Via KC Clyburn / kccomplainsalot.blacksky 9:04 PM · Nov 11, 2026 "it's an open secret NVIDIA has been circumventing sanctions on China by selling GPUs through third party intermediaries. Huang no longer has plausible deniability and Democrats are sniffing around talking about investigations into Big Tech. NVIDIA's insanely bloated stock price is in no small part due to Huang's personal relationship with Trump."

#Via KC Clyburn / kccomplainsalot.blacksky 9:04 PM · Nov 11, 2026 "....Democrats won on data center backlash, Trump is a lame duck, and any replacement will barely have any time to establish a relationship with Trump. so people are panic selling NVIDIA because the party looks like it's over. they thought they were gonna have a glorious thousand year technofascist reich and Jensen Huang fucked with the bag."
