WTF would she spy out? Everyone and their dog is pushing flavours of AI. I’m not sure there are any proprietary secrets left to protect anymore. Just more theater. Now, if you want to be shocked by someone’s sexual activity, release the trump/epstein files! You’ll be amazed at exactly how disgusted you will feel if you knew.
It’s quite simple really: Trump has made billionaires a ton of money and his paedophilia has no ill effect on it. Huang’s affairs have cost billionaires a ton of money.
It’s never been about morals, just money
This.
Whatever you do, you should just follow the money.
It’s not cheating on his wife that did in the CEO, it’s cheating on his wife with an alleged spy while also possibly being involved with chip smuggling.
Also, shagging your subordinates is a big no no in US corporate governance.
*sex offender
That’s not a correction, that’s an addition.
*pedophile
Investors are more keen than voters.
All the other billionaires are shocked and sickened by his inexplicable attraction to age appropriate women
this happened in hungary too lol, orban and his gaggle of authoritarians tried to bury our then-candidate pm with a scandal that he’s been having consensual sex with an adult woman
So that’s where the bar is, apparently
lmao
Wasn’t she still younger, just not underage?
He is 63. She is 49. Doesn’t seem too problematic for me.
Not sure about the second affair.
i think the problematic element of the second affair was that she was his direct report, not an age gap either
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
I don’t understand this part honestly.
Isn’t anyone he interacts with a spy? As in, every employee, every girlfriend - all highly valuable recruitable assets for foreign powers and business competitors.
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.
The term “spy” might be a little sensational here, but consider that these export controls are in place for (supposedly) national security reasons but also to limit corporate espionage. So maybe she wasn’t sneaking around in a ninja suit and planting surveillance gadgets, but if she was sleeping with him as part of a scheme to circumvent export controls then espionage may actually be the appropriate term for that AND it makes for sensational headlines.
So she’s not a chinese spy, just head of a chinese shell company to circumvent selling restrictions and sleeping with the CEO.
What would a spy do in your opinion?
Right?! I was laughing reading that.
Sure shes spyin, but can you really call her a spy? She was simply stealing national security secrets and getting round export controls for a fake Chinese company. Who amongst us has not done such things.
Ooo, I dunno, she is the head of a Singaporean company that sells through Alibaba, open and shut case if you ask me. Definitely a spy, just like the thousands of other execs fitting that description.
She looks Chinese at least, ipso facto spy, if you’re a rascist prick at least.
Right obviously, I should have thought of that
Yep. Spy face. Like pieface but tastier and more spy-ish.
The president doesn’t report to a board of directors
Yeah he does, it’s called the Senate.
This is an interesting analogy. A good corporate board would be vetting the C-suite similar to how the Senate is supposed to vet cabinet appointments.
There are definitely corporate boards (and senators) that fail to hold CEOs (and presidents) accountable.
I mean, we have laws that would’ve removed and jailed him, but half of the senate decided they prefer fascism.
The president is supposed to report to a 300M-member board of directors
Sadly, around half (give or take a few percent, depending on recent developments) of this board seems to be just as corrupted as their president.
Even these midterms still saw millions of people voting for a continuation of this clusterfuck of (financial, moral and legal) corruption. Trump really is just a symptom of a much larger amount of rot.
honestly, the crazy part to me was the amount of both parties suck propaganda. like yes, they do, but voting for the one that sucks less is still mathematically the best choice. but i think a lot of republican-aligned “centrists” who couldn’t bring themselves to vote for this mess were terrified that the dems would come out to vote and tried to stop that.
We the people were supposed to be the bord of directors then they made corporations people and the people consumers.
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 thread is so full of information and this is the first comment actually speaking the truth. The media is pushing the affair as the big news but that’s not the story.
It’s treason. Aided by the Trump administration who has known for well over a year.
This is the real explanation. Huang’s behavior has cost other rich people money. Trump’s behavior has not. Simple
Tariffs?
Companies got to keep that money after they were declared unconstitutional. No company’s bottom line was hurt by any tariff.
My favorite was Costco telling customers they’re just going to have more sales to save customers more money or something stupid instead of giving any tariff money back.
Edit: no trump donor company’s bottom line*
Good point. I take it back. 👍
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.
Treason not of the nation but of other rich people’s wallets is the only rule that you can never break no matter who you are.
That’s the real gotcha.
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.
Sure, but are you rich?
Probably not, because you seem to have some moral compunctions.
It’s not an issue of what is “better” or “worse” from a moral perspective, it’s an issue of who lost money. Nvidia’s value is dropping because it’s pretty clear this woman had access to things within the company that she should not have, because of her relationship with Huang. Huang has demonstrated that he is an unreliable investment vehicle. Huang must leave or be pushed out.
The funny thing is that from what we know; he’s not likely some “I’m gonna help China destroy the US! Muahahaha!” Kind of guy.
His public statements about trade restrictions have been very much “dude, I wanna sell more shit and make more money; China is a huge market. Wtf happened to ‘free market’ shit?”
Like, if she really was a spy he likely just got honey potted. He’s clearly known for having mistresses. Think that’s a pretty obvious open secret for anyone that knew him. And if she did convince him to be more positive towards trade with China there is literally no reason I can think that’s better than just the incentives of a CEO to make more money.
I just find it funny if China was able to obtain information, or sway opinions, from one of the most important CEOs in the USA; because that CEO was frustrated that America wasn’t allowing him to Capitalism hard enough.
Like, I hope for the US Capitalist sake that she isn’t a spy. Because it’s just pathetic if she is. The “scary communist state” of China was able to honeypot a CEO and turn him towards pro China trade by literally just appealing to “free market capitalism”. Because that’s literally all we have that is concrete from his actions or words.
China is winning in the same way it always has. Offering American capitalist the candy that they want; you can’t make this shit up.
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.
No, you see, SAm Altman is white.
Woah what?
Sam Altman’s sister alleged (and even started a civil lawsuit, not sure if anything came of it) that he regularly raped and sexually abused her in their teens.
While he is a piece of shit, she is also very mentally ill.
Do you realize what sexual abuse does to mental health? Stating that she has mental health issues is more of a hint that something might have happened to her, and does not exonerate Sammy.
Yeah, I wonder how she became mentally ill.
wow fuck you for saying that. even if thats true its not a reason to write off her accusations.
cheating scandals are such slop
like
its just a personal matter
well, like, if you wanted to be poly, maybe you should have agreed on an open relationship
thats itMost that cheat don’t want to be poly, I imagine. They get off on the fact that they shouldn’t be doing it
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.
Donny says…
Nixon went down for spying on journalists a while ago, step up your game US.
Yeah, bcs that is the system not working properly for the people (but def as designed).
A bit like Capone got prison for tax evasion.
Both way too late way too little.
Aye mate, serious suckage is the new meta.
Just trying to poke the bear.
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.
