KoGuan also told Bloomberg News that he intends to acquire another million Nvidia shares soon, aiming to boost confidence in the market during uncertain times.

With Nvidia closing at $180.05 per share in New York on Tuesday, KoGuan's recent purchase would have cost approximately $180 million. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, his net worth stands at $12.8 billion.

Despite expressing growing doubts about Elon Musk and Tesla—especially regarding the CEO's potential $1 trillion compensation package—KoGuan mentioned that he still holds significant investments in Tesla and treasury bills. However, he has not disclosed the extent to which he has reduced his Tesla holdings over time.

On social media, KoGuan commented, "I believe Tesla’s energy division, cybercap, and Teslabot are not yet fully valued. This means bold investors still have an opportunity to invest in Tesla for future gains. Tesla leads the world in embodied AI."
