Nvidia boss also says rescinding the AI diffusion rule was ‘completely visionary.’

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang made himself available for media interviews in the wake of the publishing of its record $44 billion revenue financials and the traditional analysts’ call. Bloomberg has shared its on-air Q&A session with Huang, in which the Nvidia boss was questioned about the impact of U.S. policy on his company’s recent revenue. However, when specifically addressing President Trump’s tariffs and decision to rescind the AI Diffusion Rule, Huang couldn’t have been more extravagant with his personal praise.

    “Obviously, I don’t know all of his ideas, but let me tell you about two that are incredible,” answered Huang. “The first one is utterly visionary. The idea of tariffs being a pillar of a bold vision to re-industrialize to onshore manufacturing and motivate the world to invest in the United States is just an incredible vision.”

    Huang is not an idiot, so the fact that he sounds like a massive one here (clearly forgetting that this isn’t Trump’s vision, but Hawley-Smoot’s back in the 20s. Clearly forgetting how that turned out. And then using the word “vision” over and over) means that he’s obviously just making money hand over foot from this deal.

    My question is how. Did Taiwan (yes, it was listed as a separate country in the tariff chart) get a specific microprocessor exemption? Or is he just banking that people are going to buy gpus no matter what because of AI/crypto?
