“That deal only got done because of NVIDIA. The reason that deal got done at 40 was because NVIDIA came in and just bought a ton. And it was not gonna get done without NVIDIA.

“I mean you have to understand I spent a lot of time with Entrator, I spent a lot of time with Jensen, Entrator being the CEO of CoreWeave. And by the way, no one was talking to him, no one was talking to him. I spent some time talking with some of the customers, well actually with many customers. And I just went to a data center and I said oh my god, oh my god, how’s this possible? It’s all CoreWeave, everything’s CoreWeave.

“[On concerns about MSFT having a large portion of the business] I remember him [CEO] telling me look you think this is a great partnership, all day I’m getting orders from everybody. And he never told me anything he shouldn’t tell me, but I just think that he’s a great guy who does not act as if he from Silicon Valley cause he’s not!
