25 through 27, NVIDIA will generate $450 billion, half a trillion dollars of cash flow.

What they're investing is mice nuts.

They are making equity investments in companies that are mice nuts.

The companies don't, in the case of OpenAI, they don't even have to use Nvidia chips.

They just told the world they were going to buy all this AMD.

They're rumored to be building their own chip.

So the point of the matter here is, of course, it lubricates the system by making these investments, but they're tiny equity checks in these companies.

I think about it this way.

Google Capital is one of the biggest investors in Duolingo.

Duolingo is one of the biggest advertisers on Google.

The elephant.

There it is.

That's what we're talking about.

Yeah, I mean, listen, there's one camp that says this is all because the world's falling apart and we're all panicked about global governments, balance sheets.

I think that's part of it, but I think Chamath nailed it, right?
