New: Musk’s $9 trillion Terafab concept was born out of growing concern the chip industry isn't moving fast enough for the future of AI, robotics and space.

SoftBank is spooking investors today with the sale of its entire stake in Nvidia for about $6 billion. So is Son getting worried about the AI boom? That's not what's happening. The company needs more cash so it can make its own ambitious AI investments.
