Nvidia’s new interim CEO, Colette Kress, has a direct line to Israel. In a 2023 interview with the Israeli business outlet Globes, she said her day starts with meetings with Nvidia’s Israeli executives: “My day starts with Israel meetings, and only then continues to California.”
Kress takes over after Jensen Huang’s resignation. Israel is one of Nvidia’s largest bases outside the United States. About 12 percent of its employees, roughly 3,200 people, work there, according to Globes.
i can see that and there isn't much to explain if you have the missing puzzle piece: it was never a secret that huang's side piece worked with chinese gov't since all large ceo's are forced to work w their respective gov'ts in this manner -- trump & co sat on this for almost a year before puling the trigger and timed it exactly to when huang was scheduled to have 1-on-1 time with xi jinping.
they simply didn't trust huang enough since he'd been advocating for a change of course and trump announcing this publicly was his part in shoring up the narrative of why the only profitable part of our AI bubble is now going to lose even more than it already had ever since obama, biden and trump started collectively erecting barriers to selling nvidia products to china.
now isreal gets to decide what nvidia wants and they're balls deep into trying to fuck china as much as the united states is.
