Nvidia's options are fund your competition to keep the market dynamic, or let the government do it by breaking you a part.

So yes. That's how American competition works.

It isn't a zero sum game. We try to create a market environment that is competitive and dynamic.

Monopolies are threat to both the company and a free open dynamic market. If Nvidia feels it could face an antitrust suit, which is reasonable, it is in its best interest to fund the future of Intel.

That's American capitalism.

Looking at Google's recent antitrust settlement, I'm not sure this is true at present.


There are at least 2 more anti trust suits against Google on going. One is about to enter the remedies phase in Virginia.


Because the recent settlement determined, in my opinion correctly, that the market is still dynamic and competitive.

Google search is genuinely being threatened.

Google is not a monopoly, not entirely.

If AI usage also starts accruing to Google then there should be a new antitrust suit.


I can’t imagine Nvidia has any concerns about that with the current administration.


Will Nvidia continue to exist beyond the current administration? If yes, then would it be prudent to consider the future beyond the current administration?


We have at least seen anti-trust suits proceed against Google under the current (US) administration. The same cannot be said for the previous one.


Are you referring to the case that started in 2023 under the previous administration?


But it did when Biden was in office?


Which government? This one?
