Mark Zuckerberg made twenty-five billion dollars in a single day. That’s the headline this morning, and it tells you everything you need to know about where capital is flowing right now.

His company, Meta, soared over eleven percent in yesterday's session after doubling down on AI. And they aren't alone. Yesterday, AMD joined the trillion-dollar club. This morning, Alibaba announced a new AI chip and a massive ten trillion-parameter model. This isn't a rally; it's a global arms race.

While Bitcoin holds steady near eighty-six thousand dollars, big tech is showing you the real trade. The market isn't showing bubble fear like in the year 2000. Instead, it's rewarding anyone building the picks and shovels for the AI gold rush, and the price tag for that infrastructure is climbing fast.

This is exactly the 'silicon tax' thesis we've been covering. I'm tracking it on the AMD's one trillion dollar cap page on korra dot finance. The question for investors is no longer if you're exposed to AI, but which side of that tax you're on.
