he only talks about Nvidia's direct sales to Chinese customers

Right. There's totally no major evasion of these export restrictions going on. 😉

Imagine that, people will just come up with alternatives to your technology if you try to price gouge through export tariffs and restrictions.

So they're manufacturing elsewhere, increasing supply, and cost is going to go down? Eh? No? Anyone? 🥺

Uhhh

Wasn't that...

That was the whole point of US regulations wasn't it?

To keep Nvidia out of Mainland Hands?

And that's backfired how? Seems like it's been a great success from your own description Jenson

Play with military contracts and get export blacklisted by the US Govt exports department bigbrain

I think it was, sort of. They also try to sell their base on "American made" but the shit we assemble is parts from Asian countries. So, we're literally destroying ~75% of our own supply in an already demand heavy environment (don’t forget about greedflation). It doesn’t seem to be helping anyone but maybe starlink.

So, yes, mismanagement and corruption was the goal.

Maybe the "surprise" was that it worked the way it was sold, which is almost never the way they intend?

They're always lying on some level, and they're always talking to shareholders, not the general public. They also talk in code.

At the end of the day, fuck every one of them, billionaires have nothing but their own interests in mind.

Maybe he should give the American Regime more money?
