What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBloomberg reports SpaceX wants forty billion dollars for chips, while Ray Dalio warns of an A-I bubble. Nvidia is flat, down zero point zero percent.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorForty billion dollars for chips, Hank. That's not an order, that's a cry for help with a rocket attached. Marvellous.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTo be fair, Dale, Bloomberg frames it as both a boom and a valuation worry. Futures are lower, the Nasdaq down point four five.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA boom and a bubble are the same thing wearing different hats. One of them is about to lose its hat.
