Okay, so here’s the thing — NVIDIA! In the Middle East! Who would’ve thought, right? Feels like yesterday we were all buzzing about China, and now, boom — Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE. It’s a whole new world, I guess. Anyway, Trump — yeah, him — he’s been signing these mega deals. Oil money meets AI. Wild, isn’t it?
So, check this: Saudi Arabia and pals are gearing up to snag millions of NVIDIA’s AI chips. It’s like they’re diving headfirst into the tech pool. Kinda makes you wonder if they found a new “black gold.”
Trump showed up in Saudi Arabia with NVIDIA’s main guy, Jensen Huang. That dude. Imagine being him, right? They launched this AI thing called HUMAIN. Fancy, huh? I bet they stayed up all night picking that name. Anyway, they’re tossing billions around like confetti — grabbing 18,000 Blackwell Ultra GB300s to build this gigantic AI empire. Picture a data center that’s like… I don’t know, the size of a small country? Maybe I’m exaggerating.
And yeah, it’s not just Saudi. UAE is all in too — G42 is buying a million chips over a decade. It feels like everybody’s shifting gears, looking away from China. Probably because the US wasn’t thrilled with them chumming up with NVIDIA over there. Oil and chips — it’s a strange new cocktail.
Buuuut, of course, there’s always a “but,” right? Here’s the kicker: US officials are whispering in Trump’s ear to slow down. They’re worried about security, as usual. Like, what if by selling these chips, the US falls behind in the AI race? Could China sneak in somehow? Who knows. It’s like selling your secret recipe and hoping no one else finds the sauce.
Anyway — oh wait, where was I? So yeah, chaotic, unpredictable moves. It’s kinda exciting and nerve-wracking. Maybe they’ve got a master plan cooked up. Or maybe it’s just a massive gamble. Either way, seems like we’re in for a wild ride.
