    Normally the CEO doesn’t resign over a mistress, it’s that this one happened to be a spy. Stocks dropped, people lose money, heads gotta roll

      There is zero evidence that she was a spy. This is cold war era propaganda that we should really have learned to investigate by now. The source of this information is the US state which has provided zero hard evidence. Journalist are simply citing what the state told them. The evidence we do have points towards her being the head of a singaporean shell company used to sell computer parts in China through Alibaba. This is most likely a hit by the US state to take out a CEO who wasn’t doing what they wanted. He was skirting export restrictions and this is state sanctioned libel meant to remove him from a position of power.

        No, “We the People” were never in charge. They convinced you that we were making choices, while keeping up the appearance of democracy. Then they lied about it when the oligarchs overruled us. They’ve just stopped pretending to care what we think.

    It’s not that he has multiple mistresses. It’s that his mistress is the head of a company in Singapore that popped up after graphics cards restrictions to China hit in 2023, and their only customer is Alibaba.

    And that’s what we know so far.

    This is not to say it’s worse than Trump’s allegations, but this isn’t just Huang having an extramarital affair.

      This is the real explanation. Huang’s behavior has cost other rich people money. Trump’s behavior has not. Simple

      I think people think the spy shit mattered. I am pretty sure the 2 (and maybe more who knows) employees he was fucking was the bigger problem for the board. They were fine with him skirting export bans, that’s more money. That she was a “Chinese spy” is great for them they can pretend they weren’t at fault and it was them being exploited by the big bad cummunists, while Trump knew and didn’t give a fuck.

        The spy shit is what opened the floodgates.

        Of course Trump doesn’t care, but Rubio knew it was a problem. Rubio didn’t write a memo on the employees Huang was sleeping with, the memo was on the spy. And I wouldn’t put it past Rubio in having a hand in making sure this is a bigger story.

        More money is nice, but with Dems coming into more power, NVIDIA is likely going to be answering some tough questions on unreported income. Having sex with two subordinates isn’t what’s going to get Jensen pulled in front of Congress. There’s going to be questions asked if this just end with sales, or if IP was transferred, and where all that unreported money went. There are few rules that you can’t break in this country if you’re rich enough, but ripping off rich shareholders is still a big no no.

      I’ll take corporate espionage and that sort of shit over sweeping victimizing, raping, and murdering children under the rug 10/10 times. “That’s not to say it’s worse than…” - It isn’t even fucking close.

      Nah. He wasn’t even asked to step down, the idea wasn’t even floated, until the second (and third) mistress was discovered.

        The idea was very much floated, it’s why Nvidia lost billions in stock “value”.

        Mistresses #2+ are just the “oh, there’s a lot of this shit coming. You gotta go.”

        Knowledge of his mistresses were an open secret in NVIDIA. These are all people who have enabled his behaviour every step of the way. He’s been their only CEO, my bet is the delay was more about getting their ducks in a row before he left. Their board (like Tesla) are a bunch of yesmen willing to fall in line because Jensen makes line go up.

    Or how raping his own sister doesn’t bring a CEO down but consensual sex with adults does another.

    Huang admitted it. Trump has not, will not and still has a large number of people convinced that any public connections are attempts to extort/bring him down.

    Conspiracy is a hell of a drug. And in a post-Epstein world, conspiracies are a lot easier to believe.

    Trump is Teflon … nothing sticks.

    He’s beholden only to the people and most (well maybe not anymore) of the people suck.

    Because the issue comes down to morals passed down via religious societies that are nothing more than sexual regulation businesses. And you have seen how they treat affairs as taboo and pedophilia as a secret taboo.

    theyre missing the fact that hes not fired because of the mistresses, hes being fired because the government now has reason to investigate him for possible treason. it really does not help jensens, nor trumps case, that the senate and house are a democrat majority right now.
