Big Tech loses a trillion dollars in a day after the Democratic win
Shares in major technology companies plunged on Wall Street on Thursday and in Asian markets on Friday, in a sell-off that wiped hundreds of billions of dollars of market value, on fears that the Democratic victory in the US midterm elections will slow the expansion of data centres and artificial intelligence. The so-called magnificent seven, including Apple, Nvidia and Tesla, together lost a trillion dollars in a single session, according to the BBC.
