Nvidia’s CEO just confessed to an affair with an alleged Chinese spy. This is a five-alarm fire for the most important company in AI. But the market's reaction is the real story... because there isn't one. I'll explain what that tells you in a second.

The headlines broke overnight. A board probe is underway into a massive governance and geopolitical risk. Last week, the Nasdaq crashed on general fears about the AI story. But today, with a specific, named risk right in front of us... Nvidia's stock is barely moving in the pre-market.

This is a market that has completely disconnected from reality. It's so obsessed with the macro story, with CPI prints and Fed hikes, that it's ignoring a fundamental crisis at its lead company. The AI trade isn't pricing company risk anymore, it's just one big bet on interest rates.

On Friday, I said the two-trillion-dollar bill for AI hype was coming due. This scandal is part of that bill. I'm tracking how this adds a new layer of risk to the AI credit story on the Anthropic's Two-Trillion-Dollar Valuation page at korra dot finance. The market is ignoring the confession for now, but a company's real value is built on trust, not just code.
