Does the USA even have enough money to rescue the tech giants at this point? We could be talking multiple trillion dollars at worst. And the AI only companies like OpenAI and Anthropic would be the most vulnerable in comparison to say Google or Microsoft, because they have no fallback and no sustainability without investor money.

And Nvidia would be left in a weird place where the vast majority of their profits are coming from AI cards and demand would potentially dry up entirely.

That is a huge problem.

We were not pushing 40 trillion in debt at the time of the great financial crisis.

The TARP was a max of 700 billion and we didn't even disburse all the funds.

Trying to do a bailout of this size could easily cause a crisis in the treasury market. Then we really are in huge trouble.

All these companies don’t have piles of debt. So why would they need a bailout at all?
