AI stock wobble: volatility rises but no bubble burst as policy drama grows

TL;DR
A rocky week for AI equities as Alphabet slides and chipmakers slump, dragging markets with no sign of a crash yet; SpaceX losses and OpenAI's delayed IPO underscore ongoing caution, though other AI players like Micron show resilience. Separately, California's proposed 5% one-time billionaire tax is shaping politics ahead of the 2028 cycle, with Gov. Gavin Newsom proposing a nationwide minimum tax on fortunes above $100 million as a counterproposal.
