Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced on May 27, 2026 that the company will increase its annual spending in Taiwan to $150 billion and build a new “Constellation” campus in northern Taipei that will house up to 4,000 employees by 2030, four times its current Taiwan headcount.

The Atlantic | The Venture-Capital Populist by George Packer AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The article traces how venture capitalist David Sacks, a longtime libertarian‑conservative who built his fortune through PayPal, the “PayPal Mafia,” and later investments in Facebook, SpaceX, crypto and AI, moved from publicly condemning Donald Trump after the Jan. 6 insurrection to becoming a key architect of the new tech‑right’s alliance with the MAGA movement.
