Jensen Huang said to have had relationship with executive who reports to him

He has to be finished as CEO even despite all the keyman risk right?

What a massive scandal. It is over.

At this point there's a good chance there are much more than just two affairs.

The jacket, it's all because of that shiny leather jacket...

He's trying to be a Japanese businessman from the 1980s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C5%8Dsuke_Uno#Economics Uno was highly criticized in public not for having a Geisha mistress, as it was a traditional leisure practice expected of politicians and wealthy men but instead due to relating his poor financial habits in the Japanese Diet as compared and paralleled to the ungenerosity towards his former Geisha mistress.

Not surprising at all. Many tech CEOs are like this; Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Sergey Brin, Eric Schmidt and so on. People don’t stop idolizing these people, they don’t even think that this is a problem.

Huang Holds 3.4% of Nvidia and has no dual-class voting rights. He can't prevent getting removed if the board thinks it's time.

I assumed he’d survive the one affair. A second one? Now I’m not so sure.

Looks to me like he has a target on his back, and people are just throwing stuff at it now. This could have come out years ago, if it is true. No reason not to. None, not in this day and age. So it's all opportunistic, at this point.

> Both Mr. Huang and Ms. Powell are married to other people Dumb language question: if Powell is married, why isn’t she referred to as Mrs. Powell in this article?

In the end a Chinese model was a risk to national security...

He's kind of like 'scum bag lite' and now barely qualifies to join the rest of the mega wealthy and powerfull in there conspicuos imunity from censure.

If his personal security detained the person videoing them and offered them money to sign an NDA, it feels like something they had experience with. Could this just be the tip of the iceberg?

I knew this was going to happen. It's highly unlikely that a man cheats on his wife for the first time after age 60. This was just the first time he was outed for it. I hated the misogynistic narrative that Huang was somehow helpless against a super-spy-seductress. Men can in fact control themselves, and it takes a lot of effort, you might even say willpower, to turn a business meeting into a bedroom encounter, especially when you're in the public eye. If Huang was targeted, it was because he was an easy target, a philanderer.

Gotta get me a sharp looking leather jacket - that must be what's getting him all this action.

Purely accident that the news dribbles out like that. Nothing to see, moving on. (If he's done this without his wife's full consent, he's certainly a despicable human, but that doesn't change that this looks like a really nicely orchestrated PR hit job)

Can someone explain how the CEO sex life is relevant? Is it because of the risk of a messy divorce that can both distract the CEO and eventually force voting share transfer since he’s also a shareholder? This isn’t really like the Chinese spy mistress thing after all. Edit: honestly, this one feels like a moralistic freak out more than anything. Who cares about sex with the non-spy lady?

I'm not condoning cheating at all, but if you're a billionaire with endless connections around the world, why wouldn't you just go to an escort if you can't keep it in your pants. I know things are different when you're only thinking with your johnson but jeez, showing up with the same woman in front of the media many times and even displaying affection in front of a camera (there is pictures of them with light body contact afaik), what did he think was going to happen?
