Companies will promise anything if they think it benefits them, like when they all promised to "go green" years ago but in fact just found ways to cheaply fake it.

They know the tariffs won't be permanent, they're not going to uproot their entire supply chain and rebuild it all again in a country where they have to pay workers like x5 as much.

Companies will always choose the path of most profit, and right now that is to raise their prices and wait it out.

That is my skepticism as well.  But to be fair nvidia, apple and tmsc....  I don't they are playing.  

I expect they'll make a show of it for appearances, maybe invest in some smaller stuff, but at the end of the day companies are driven by money, and they simply make more of it when they do their manufacturing where labour is cheap.

A factory worker in the US makes about $16 an hour, while in China they make $4. No companies is going to pay out x4 as much if they don't have to, it's easier to just absorb the tariff by making the customer pay more.
