Latest update (11-09 12:13): Tech stocks fall as midterm results raise AI spending doubts

Overview: Tech stocks lost a combined $2.5 trillion in market value and the Nasdaq fell more than 5.5% after the midterm elections, according to SiliconANGLE's report. The report says successful candidates ran against data centers and called for greater AI restrictions, and that investors now expect a slowdown in AI spending.

In a TheCUBE Pod discussion, John Furrier and Dave Vellante say enterprise AI monetization is not yet self-funding. The hosts argue that infrastructure beyond GPUs will decide which companies win.
