I think the smuggling and the general desire to continue exporting to China is the key here, and that Alice Huang being a spy is bullshit. I think she’s a chip smuggler, something that the Chinese state has been trying to curtail, because it wants to develop its own domestic chip industry that’s no longer depended on Western chip manufacturers. That’s why millions of NVIDIA chips are currently quarantined at Hong Kong ports.

I think this is a fight between two factions of big capital, one that wants to constrain China and another that wants to continue profiting from China.

For sleeping with an executive that reports directly to him. Comments I’d take with a grain of salt implied she might have attained her position by sleeping with Jensen, and that very much violates company policy.

You aren’t wrong though. It’d be stupid to fire him over the smuggling thing, as long as the DOJ isn’t pressing charges either.

lobbying for allowing sales to China as well as closing his eyes while different firms were smuggling GPUs

most of the epstein class wants to choke off china like they're doing to cuba atm and huang is very inconvenient to the rn because of this -- it's not an accident that he suddenly can't be in the room w trump and jinping because he's been summoned to testify.

I am inclined to agree. It feels weird overall.

By whom?

Good, fuck Jensen Huang.

Good news, someone already did. Two someones, in fact.

This is a hit job by neoconservatives & liberal internationalists. If he’d kept it in his pants, then they would have just found some other way to take him out.

Jensen literally founded the company, and helped design the original GPU. He made some incredibly critical long-term decisions, like pushing CUDA and some architectural features, even when they wouldn’t pay out for years.

Many report directly to him.

…By all accounts, he is rather critical for Nvidia. I don’t mean to glaze him, but TBH some generic CEO would run Nvidia to the ground in no time.

Um, no?

CEOs get high-level direction from the board of directors. “We want to see increased sales in India.” Could be an example.

It is up to the CEO to act on that, passing directions down through the C-Suite towards managers and regular employees.

Their compensation is usually very high, you think a figurehead is getting $50m a year to do nothing and have sex with employees?

Too bad it doesn't work for all CEOs, like Nazi Musk.

In what sense is he a traitor? I think you’re approaching the situation from the wrong angle. What he is is a billionaire butting heads with other billionaires, and none of them are patriots.

Heh heh. Hes gonna pop the bubble with his dick.

Idk if you can count the Franklin Scandal of 1988 as an affair, per say. But it did involve both sex and a financial collapse.

I don’t believe you.

Despite his indiscretions, he is an amazing leader. I doubt they'll find one better. I'm sad for the employees, he always made sure they were taken care of, insisted that NVIDIA never do layoffs. I'm worried that whomever they find to replace him will be your typical psychopath CEOs, putting employees last.

Jensen Huang opted for it

Ousted!

I guarantee you he will be replaced by someone worse and my crackpot theory is this investigation was in cooperation with the Trump regime’s backdoor/conspiratorial rapist ways

At least Huang was good to his employees.

I uh, think that was part of the problem
