Why do you say that? TARP was extremely unpopular yet still happened.

People cared about TARP because these were companies managing their retirements and banks holding their savings. They had been around for 100 years+ and many had branches in their hometown.

Very few people know, or care, about AI companies in any way.

		If AI companies go bust so will those retirements accounts (and the economy) So I think it is likely that AI companies will be bailed out when the bubble bursts. I guess the lesson multinationals learned from the 2008 financial crisis is that if you fail is better to fail really really really big.

yes, happened under both a red and blue administration. It was the perfect example to show that political party is meaningless when it comes to financial bailouts.

Very different situation. Banks failing en-mass is very different than some VCs, private credit speculators, and AI bros losing their shirts.
