**Using NVIDIA = Losing Money**
OpenAI lost 30% market share, has $100B debt and profitability is impossible. Microsoft lost $1200B market cap as largest GPU customer. Stock is 3Y low. Amazon, second largest GPU customer, lost $700B market cap. Meta, another huge GPU customer, had to shutdown Metaverse.
Apple left NVIDIA for Apple Silicon. Stock is 500% up since then. Google left NVIDIA for TPU. Stock is up 300% since then. The market winners are the NVIDIA-free companies.
