Thursday's $2tn one-day rout is being reported as an AI bubble deflating. The trading does not support that. Demand signals held up through the week - ASML, TSMC and Schneider all reported strong AI demand and were sold anyway. What repriced was the financing stack: neocloud credit default swaps now above 1,100bp, levered data-centre bonds yielding mid-teens, and a flagship AI IPO marked down from ~$2tn to ~$1.5tn. Simultaneously the midterm results put a statewide data-centre permitting moratorium on the table in Texas. The market is pricing a capacity-constraint trade, not an AI demand collapse - which is why Nvidia fell 9% on the same afternoon Microsoft and Amazon were being bid.

His Form 4, disclosing the sales through a family trust, was filed September 8.
