Confirmed by CNBC in last 5 minutes he has resigned effective immediately. Lesson learned - don't have affairs?

Don't have multiple affairs. Especially with people in the company or with people that will spark federal investigations.

More like: Don't be seduced into industrial/foreign espionage by a supposed sub-ordinate, allowing that leverage to be used to negotiate contracts and smuggle 1000s of GPUs into China, particularly right after the GOP lose the mid-terms and the two superpowers are likely to start fighting over Taiwan.

Just waiting for some key Infra or DevOps Engineer to get compromised by an actual AI in a honeypot tbh. Their attack surface is exponentially bigger and just as impactful.

So when Musk sleeps with anything with 3 adjacent holes it's fine, the one asian nerd screws two women and is ousted imnmediately. Yet people think there's nothing behind this?

Mind you, when these affairs happened is also literally when he took the company to 5T market cap

Anyway, Nvidia is screwed.

You're not the first to try to inject racial tensions into this story. Stop it.

You are not the first to just blindly dismiss this point. Address it.

Because said tensions are the elephant in the room maybe?

The obvious answer is that Musk's companies don't care about ethics or being able to trust the person in charge to not be lying, and NVIDIA does.

One has Kompromat on Trump. It's not hard to understand the difference.

If you commit to someone that you won't sleep with anyone else, keep your commitments. While his arrangement with his wife isn't my business, he admitted he violated her trust.

Further, nvidia has a policy which he agreed to regarding relationships with other employees, which he appears to have violated.

Each comoany will have their own policies.

no him having affirs or multiple ones isn't necessary the problem here

I mean IFF you having a "proper" image matters then it is, I don't think this is the case here.

The problem here is him failing to keep work and affairs separate, one of them seeming to have a high chance to be a Chinese spy AND most relevantly a long ongoing problem with export restricted products of your company ending up in China in multiple different ways which look like insider knowledge was involved and to make that worse some of the past situations did look a lot like Nvidia actively helping/taking advantage of the black market. This wasn't well covered by dominant US media, but enough people with influence have noticed it anyway.

so no this hasn't much to do with racism, but long standing issues being funneled through an outrage due to "improper behavior" while already many stock holders where expecting an incoming stock downturn for one or another reason.

Amazing way to destroy your legacy in just a short time. It always amazes me how long this was kept under wraps
