🛰️ @elonmusk wants 10 gigawatts of compute by the end of 2027. @JensenHuang says Nvidia now counts @SpaceX alongside its cloud provider customers, and the two companies' engineers are designing a server for space: "In the two parts of our chart, Elon used to be under enterprise. That's the way we reported the numbers. Now he's part of our CSPs... They're massive. He's using our technology for his own AI in training models and such, deploying models, of course... And the demand for GrokBot, the consumption for GrokBot is really skyrocketing. And then, of course, he rents it. And so the combination of these three things, he's fairly unique in doing that... He loves the intersection between computing and the physical build-outs... And nobody knows more about energy than he does. And one particular new market that we're going to go explore together is putting data centers out in space. So our two engineering teams are working super closely together to create a new type of server, a new type of architecture that might be super good... in space and on Earth." — @JensenHuang, CEO of @nvidia on @BG2Pod with @altcap

💰 Nvidia CEO @JensenHuang on why customers will put $100 billion on chips nobody has seen yet: "For a company to be as large as us gaining share tells you something about the resilience and the size and scale of our advantage... Let me give you an example. Let's just do a thought experiment right now. If you had to hand somebody a $100 billion check to place a purchase order, right now for a next generation, if you want to get in line for Vera Rubin Ultra, it's close to placing order time... And so let's say... you got to place $100 billion on somebody. One, how do you know it's going to be any good? But because @nvidia builds it, you know it's going to be better than Vera Rubin. And Vera Rubin's awesome. And the reason why Vera Rubin, the reason why everybody had confidence in Vera Rubin is because Blackwell is awesome. And the world of computing, the workloads that these computers do are so complex... And the number of technologies that have to come together to deliver the performance is insane. And so the question is, sight unseen, who can you place a $50B to $100B order on? We're literally the only one." — Jensen Huang with @altcap on @BG2Pod

Love seeing Brad push this forward. Giving more kids a head start through investing is something worth getting excited about! 🇺🇸🚀
Our promise. Every child a direct owner in the upside of America. 2 M kids already have accts automatically opened in NYC worth $500 million. @RobinHoodNYC is catalyzing the community to adopt a school, sponsor a zip code & get parents adding to their kids @TrumpAccounts. 🇺🇸🚀🤍

Let me summarize: EVERY child under 18 direct owners in our best companies compounding for life. Real ownership not dependency. A new American birthright forevermore of $1000 in a free, lifetime investment acct. That’s it. Keep donating to charities. Keep paying taxes. Keep our sacred promise to social security. But only real ownership can unlock the full human potential of all families & close the wealth gap. Yes this will be a huge new employer benefits for 1000s of companies giving to kids of employees. Yes moms & dads & friends are already depositing 100s of millions small dollars at a time. Yes philanthropists love the idea of direct giving to America’s kids - full transparency, accountability, & high ROI. As Geoffrey Canada said to me last week - in 50 yrs of fighting poverty, kids are still poor. This is the FIRST thing I have ever seen that will change that forever. This has huge bi-partisan support. But kids are not Rs or Ds. They just want to live the American Dream. Invest America / 530A @TrumpAccounts will help them do just that! Claim your kids open & funded account today. 🇺🇸🤍🚀 apps.apple.com/us/app/trump-…

This is so endearing.
🇺🇸 @JensenHuang’s parents got 24 hours' notice to watch him get the National Medal of Science from President Trump. His dad didn't own a suit: "Now for my parents, I wanted them to go and I gave them literally 24 hours of time and they don't travel that much... And my dad didn't even have a suit... So he ran out and bought a suit... It was a brand new suit and he showed up and I didn't realize he had a suit. I thought he was just gonna wear some shirt... My mom got a new dress and literally in 24 hours... And so we chartered a plane for them, got them there. And they were so happy to meet the president. President Trump walked my mom because she has a hard time walking and the two of them were walking off stage and he held her and walked her down the stage. And they were just incredibly, incredibly proud to meet him. For them, it's their American dream." — Jensen Huang, CEO of @nvidia on the @bg2pod with @altcap and @_clarktang

@CNBC Squawk Box with Altimeter founder & CEO Brad Gerstner (@altcap), Andrew Ross Sorkin (@andrewrsorkin), and Joe Kernen (@JoeSquawk) | October 21, 2026 Key takeaways of Brad’s views: > SpaceX’s earnings show the magnitude of the AI buildout. It plans to stand up 10 GW of compute next year, roughly 25% of the US total, and scale in capital, compute, and data wins the race to superintelligence > The people calling a compute glut over the last two years have all been wrong. Unlike 2000, demand is unconstrained and supply is limited by wafers and power > Starlink is on a path to becoming a real alternative carrier, with fast adoption in the US and around the world > The US has a robust framework for AI safety, with pre release review of every frontier model, the White House Accord on Super Intelligence, and the SI Force > @elonmusk will give one share of @SpaceX to every child in America through @InvestAmerica24, which Brad calls Giving Pledge 2.0 Watch: youtu.be/JoTqS4gxCgM

🇺🇸 Five of the six tech leaders Trump just gave national medals to were born outside the US. @JensenHuang is one of them, and he says that's America's edge: "It just hit me like a ton of bricks that five out of the six people on that stage yesterday were born outside the United States. You and I have talked about the need for... a real strategy and an immigration policy that makes certain that we're still the place that all the great builders in the world want to come build." – @altcap "This is America's superpower...the intellectual property and creation capability of our nation is unlike anything else in the world. And the reason for that is we attract the world's best. We are the place where they want to come and build their lives because of the opportunity it provides, the freedom that she offers... the spirit of invention and entrepreneurialism and the can-do attitude." — @JensenHuang, CEO of @nvidia, with @altcap and @_clarktang on @BG2Pod

Brad Gerstner spent years fighting for the next generation. Now he might have an entire generation named after him. 😂👏
After listening to @altcap on @SquawkCNBC with @andrewrsorkin, I hope all 10,000 kids born today are named BRAD due to the wealth they will have at 18 to buy a home, pay tuition or start a business. Generation changing policy driven relentlessly by @altcap for years. Well done.

OpenAI's Navier-Stokes moment ran on a fraction of the compute that's about to come online. The next math and science breakthroughs could come fast: Brad: "All of this occurred this year with OpenAI and Anthropic having, I don't know, 2-3 gigawatts of compute each. So a relatively small amount of compute relative to what's coming.. So if OpenAI and Anthropic are 3-5x-ing their compute next year, does it stand to reason? I mean, we solved Navier-Stokes. We'll look back at this and say that was a tiny amount of compute and intelligence, the worst intelligence we're ever going to have from here forward solving a millennium problem." Jensen: "Remember, OpenAI did not solve Navier-Stokes from nothing... They solved it from the foundation of a lot of great scientists and a lot of great mathematicians and a lot of great previous work... If we could just apply the exhaustive exploration of AI to the previous done work, we're going to see one breakthrough after another breakthrough rather quickly. But we do need a lot of compute to do that. And the reason for that is because a large amount of exploration was necessary. If it was simply somebody resolving some fundamental first principle theory in order to discover the breakthrough, if it didn't require a vast amount of exploration of space, not space-space, but search space, if it didn't require that, then somebody would have found it earlier. People are pretty smart. And so I think that there are many problems like this that are just on a precipice and really wants to just have that massive amount of intelligence exploration to get us there." 🎬 @altcap with Nvidia CEO @JensenHuang on the @BG2Pod

I told you! This is the single most effective form of giving. Trump accounts are capitalism applied to philanthropy. There is no heavy hand to be ideologically captured. You just capitalize people and let them act in their self interest.
Next year, I will give one of my SpaceX shares to every kid in America. This will be the first of many.

Legendary! 🇺🇸🚀🤍 apps.apple.com/us/app/trump-…
A BIG THANK YOU to our legendary friend, @ElonMusk, for his incredible generosity in giving SpaceX Stock to millions of American children through TRUMP ACCOUNTS! This is exactly what was envisioned when we created TRUMP ACCOUNTS — Bringing together the GREAT PRIVATE SECTOR, Elon and so many more, to invest in our children, by far our greatest and most important asset, and give every American Child a piece of the American Dream. Thank you Elon! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Brad Gerstner, architect of Trump Accounts: 70% of families in America don't have an investment account — they do not have skin in the upside of America... This is going to be solved in one of two ways: you're either going to get bigger government programs, more fighting for UBI, more redistribution... Or we can harness the power of free enterprise and capitalism... We can allow them to see firsthand the power of compounding growth. @altcap @JTLonsdale

Altimeter Partner Apoorv (@apoorv03) joined @Arda_Industries founder and CEO @bobmcgrewai on @CNBC with Kate Rooney (@Kr00ney) to talk about Arda’s launch and bringing advanced manufacturing back to America 🇺🇸 Key takeaways: 🔹 Speed is the bottleneck. You can retrain a human worker in a day, but updating factory automation takes three to six months. That’s why fast moving products get assembled overseas. 🔹 Act One is a Claude or Cursor for manufacturing engineers. At Anduril, an engineer used Arda to build out a 2,000 part avionics box in two days instead of a week. 🔹 Act Two is flexible automation: assembly lines that reconfigure as fast as you can teach a person a new task. “The response to cheap manufacturing labor overseas is not cheaper labor.” The answer is AI and robotics. 📽️: youtu.be/-GDN1kmmb0k
