> The $40bn is partly in Nvidia's (arguably) inflated stock.

This is SoftBank we're talking about. Do we really want to bring up inflated stock as one of their concerns? ;)

There is bound to be some sort of financial engineering going on too.

Doesn't Son have a stake in Nvidia so maybe this is to help support the Nvidia share price?

Giving $40B of Nvidia stock to a cash strapped seller hurts the stock price.

I was wrong on Son having a holding in Nvidia too - seems to have sold it.

Yeah, this is a great idea. Apple and Google and Microsoft all have a vested interest in making this happen.
