Two big rotations: (1) rebuild the US AI compute stack with SpaceX + CoreWeave + AVGO added and MSFT exited — Tepper now expresses AI via private/independent compute plus GOOG/META/AMZN application layer, not via the OS incumbent; (2) collapse the China book from PDD/JD/KWEB into a single BIDU +87% conviction call. Micron and Alibaba trims are the two headline reductions.
