Trump’s Push for Nvidia & AMD Revenue Share Could Spark a ’Dangerous World’ Scenario

Former President Trump's latest gambit—demanding a cut of chip giants Nvidia and AMD's revenue—has experts warning of geopolitical chaos. Here's why this move could backfire spectacularly.

The Silicon Shakedown

Trump's team is reportedly pressuring semiconductor leaders to divert profits to federal coffers. No precedent exists for such a private-sector shakeup—just ask the ghost of Reaganomics.

Tech's New Taxman?

With AI chip demand at record highs, the proposal would essentially tax innovation at its peak. AMD's Lisa Su hasn't commented—though her eye-roll was reportedly audible from Santa Clara to D.C.

Wall Street's Cynical Take

‘Finally, a wealth transfer from engineers to politicians,’ joked one hedge fund manager while shorting both stocks. Because nothing says ‘free market’ like politicians grabbing a piece of your P&L.

One thing's clear: In the high-stakes poker game between tech and politics, the house always wins—until the whole table collapses.
