Nvidia Corp.'s relentless rally has propelled the semiconductor giant's market capitalization over its mega-cap tech peers, helping it clinch the title of the world's most-valuable company as the artificial intelligence wave continues.

Shares rose as much as 3.4% to about $3.3 trillion on Tuesday, catapulting it over Microsoft Corp. and Apple Inc. The top stocks have jockeyed all month for the pole position, with Nvidia edging past its big-tech peers.

Earlier in the month, Nvidia capped Apple by market value for the first time since 2002, and the two went back and forth in rankings in recent days. Last week, Apple also overtook Microsoft to trade in the top spot briefly.
I love me a good bubble. Got a good feeling this one's gonna last forever. FOREVER!

On the upshot; if it bursts soon maybe the 5090 won't cost a month’s wages.
They might be riding high now, but you never know how suddenly the decline and fall can arrive. After all, how many people these days remember 3dfx?

He's absolutely the kind of guy who'll just tell the coders to block/restrict use of his image.

After all, he's the kind of guy who'd tell everyone that AI research poses an imminent threat to society and needs to be paused... right up until he starts his own AI company.
