This size is approximately China's gross domestic product (GDP) for 2024 $18.7 trillion He's left behind.

The Power of Trust in US Tech Giants

The fact that only 7 US companies have become more valuable than a giant economy like China, Wall Street's confidence in AI and platform technologies confirms. This also shows how global and effective American capital has become.

So as much as it is an investment choice, it is a sign that the geopolitical balance of power is beginning to take shape through technology.
