You know, so now you have a reportedly profitable rocket company wrapped around an AI company that's been burning through money, also getting in trouble for some of the things that Chatbot has been doing.

How does this acquisition complicate the SpaceX IPO?

Yeah.

So I was wondering that, you know, when I think about all the things Elon Musk has to keep an eye on, you know, not just these two, but also Tesla, Neuralink, the Boring Company, I just feel tired.

You know, I know he's the world's richest man and he has help, but I do wonder, is this him trying to simplify things?

It could be.

We'll be right back.

Okay, so let's move to our next story.

NVIDIA and OpenAI's $100 billion deal is reportedly in limbo.

So last September, the chip giant NVIDIA announced it was planning to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI.

Then last week, the Wall Street Journal reported that deal is now stalled.

The journal says that NVIDIA chief executive Jensen Huang has expressed concern in recent months, both with competition OpenAI faces and a, quote, lack of discipline in its business approach.

Paresh, OpenAI needs money.

If this deal falls apart, what does it mean for the company?

Huang was asked to respond to this report about whether the investments on the rocks.

Here's what he said to the news outlet Taiwan Plus News.

Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal is reporting that Huang says NVIDIA will absolutely be involved with the latest funding round for OpenAI, though nothing like $100 billion.
