This seems like a coordinated hit, slowly releasing more and more information. What's really going on?

One affair is a scandal. Two affairs is a pattern. Three affairs is just funny.

There are three "I"s in NVIDIA (latin)

I don't who the 3rd affair will be with, but the 4th one will be with sticks and stones

That is it...I am buying a leather jacket!

stop it!! he's already dead!! in all seriousness though, what is going on? everything here feels well timed and coordinated. were the powers that be just waiting for US midterms to pass? is there any relationship to the anthropic IPO? my tin foil hat is going to be working overtime these next few days

Amateur. Tiger Woods had at least 9 extramarital affairs.

To a certain point I don't really care about how many subordinates it ends up being (something tells me there are more), but it does make all of the grindset quotes CEOs like Huang barf up all the more laughable. > “I work every day. There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t work. And if I’m not working, I’m thinking about work.” > “I wake up at 5am, and the moment I wake up, I start working… I’m asleep probably by 9:30pm. https://www.startuparchive.org/p/jensen-huang-there-s-hard-w... A lot of people have said Nvidia are crazy to get rid of Huang, that he's a singular irreplaceable talent. What if, perhaps, he's not all he's made out to be?

I can't believe Jensen Huang popped the AI bubble with his d*ck...

I would if he went to bed everything realizing this is how it could all end?

I mean he's the boss of a GPU company, no surprise he's having affairs in parallel.

Jensen has had a heck of a ride, fastest rise and fall we've seen in a while. Looks like he didn't handle the attention very well.

Look, what happens between a billionaire CEO, three consenting adults, and a Singaporean shell company is a personal matter that should not concern us - Hacker News

Parallel execution in action

Is this common at the board level of major companies and uncommon to get out? Or is this really uncommon.

There is an obvious pattern for these high level executive roles. They are all workaholics, they are not particularly loyal, they all have loose moral compasses, they don't have any clear line between work and their personal life, and they treat relationships like business arrangements. This feels so common that I would not even be quick to assume this is some sort of unknown betrayal to his family. One of the revelations about the Gates' lives was that Bill's promiscuity was apparently baked into their marriage agreement. At this level, your marriage might just be like a fixed mailing address for someone who has multiple homes. Not to excuse this in any way. But these are the personalities of medieval lords and kings.
