What he won't support is them raising prices mostly for Nvidia. TSMC has done this in the past as a clear move to cut nuisance production, and nvidia's books are full of nonsense orders that they can't possibly fill. Wei isn't an idiot, unless Nvidia fronts a lot of cash, it's unlikely to work out in Jensen's favor.

And what if Nvidia does front a lot of cash (similar to how Apple bankrolls new nodes)?

Not saying this is happening or will happen, but it is a distinct possibility.

Then they’re going to have to compete with Apple on pricing, and nothing would make TSMC happier than Apple and NVIDIA in a bidding war for fab facilities.

TSMC would love such a setup, although I feel Apple will demand a measure of loyalty (and to my limited understanding Apple hates Nvidia).
