The most dangerous man in tech isn't Elon or Sam Altman.
It's a rule-breaking CEO who built a $2 TRILLION empire in silence.
But yesterday, he unveiled an AI chip 40x faster than any other created.
Here's why every tech company is now at his mercy: 🧵
1993, NVIDIA's Jensen Huang started with a vision for transforming computing.
Making graphics cards for video games. But that was just the beginning.
Everyone thought he was crazy. Graphics cards were a niche market.
But he saw something others missed...

Mark Cuban just shocked the world in his 'People' interview.
He admitted his $5.7 BILLION fortune wasn't just hard work.
It required a "specific type of luck" rarely discussed.
Here's his truth about becoming a billionaire (that anyone can learn): ☘️
Cuban's words hit different because he was once sleeping on a floor.
In 1982, he moved to Dallas with $60 in his pocket and a 1977 Fiat.
Had to share a 3-bedroom apartment with six other people.
But then something changed that would alter his life forever...

In 2015, Google accidentally put their website up for sale.
When this former employee realized it, he bought it for just $12.
Google had no choice but to give him whatever he wanted.
His response? Not $100,000. Not $100 Million.
Here's what he asked for instead:
At 1:20 AM on September 29th, 2015, one of the most visited domains in the world became available.
Google .com - the digital front door to one of tech's biggest companies.
A domain that receives billions of visits each month.

This man is the most stubborn CEO in history:
In 2004, eBay offered to buy his "ugly ads website" for $1 BILLION.
He refused.
Today? That site makes $1 Billion per YEAR with just 50 employees.
Here's why he said "No" to a guaranteed fortune:
In 1995, a programmer in San Francisco started a simple email list.
He wanted to share local events with friends.
No fancy tech. No grand ambitions. Just a way to help his community stay connected.
But something unexpected was about to happen...

The fight between Musk and Zuck is bigger than MMA or AI:
While Elon puts computer chips in monkey brains...
Meta created the same thing WITHOUT invasive surgery.
The scariest part? It already works.
Here's what Zuck's been building behind Elon's back:
Two tech titans. One revolutionary goal:
To merge human consciousness with machines.
Musk's approach? Drill holes in your skull and implant a chip directly into your brain.
But Zuckerberg had a different vision. And it's far more ingenious...

Donald Trump has never had a friend like Elon.
And other tech giants are not holding back their thoughts on the matter.
Meta's Nick Clegg just warned Elon could become a "political puppet master."
And Clegg's not alone... Here's what others are saying: 🧵
The story starts with a quarter-billion dollar donation.
That's how much Musk spent to support Trump's campaign for a White House comeback.
But this isn't just another wealthy donor backing a candidate.
Something much bigger is brewing behind the scenes...

He connects it to a laptop in his backpack, creating a makeshift mobile broadcasting system.
His mission? Stream his entire life. 24/7. No breaks.
