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.

The news likes to talk about the affair angle because it gets the most clicks, not because "Jensen had sex with someone other than his wife" is the most concerning problem in the story. It'll still rile up some, but it's not the main "why" he was ousted/stepped down.

It's also not an either or. I.e. obviously this only came to light because he's a high value target (from various angles). But obviously it's not right to violate export controls or create conflicts of interest either.

Elon has flown a bit close to the sun a few times but he's a combination of transparent enough about his lunacy that surprise can't be the main angle and manages to keep enough distance between major events.

Jensen Huang just chose himself over the demands of the world.

The mans a Jungian gangsta.

He'll be back like the Terminator.

Jensen, even after decades, remained deeply involved in many operational decisions with 40+ direct reports. He had a long-term mindset, investing heavily in Tegra and CUDA in 2009-2010, even as he was plagued by write-offs from faulty chips.

This is a terrible decision for NVIDIA and the broader economy. Despite his personal mishaps, he should be judged primarily on value creation for shareholders.
