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

https://archive.is/9fQ6Y

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 had a feeling something damaging would happen to him sooner or later. My prediction was sometime before mid 2027.

My reasoning was that that he had become too powerful while largely avoiding politically charged positions, or other "stuff" that can be used to "control" him.

The political and intelligence establishment doesnt particularly like powerful individuals who remain politically independent.... outside of their control.

> 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?

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?

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

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.

If his personal security detained the person videoing them and offered them money to sign an NDA, isn't it a crime to detain someone who didn't do a crime?

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.

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.

the timing of this coming out now is certainly not a coincidence; same with the spy affair (which was known a year or two ago). the interesting question is who wants Jensen gone

Judge not, for in the measure of your judgment, it will be measured to you.

Desire is the enemy of happiness. To abandon sorrow, abjure want.

We are all in wanting. Our want in lesser that the needs of our partners, our friends, and our world.

If, at the end of the day, it is moral merit that matters for leadership positions, why is the hiring and training paradigm solely focused on technical skills?

so Warren Buffett's wife moves to California to be a singer, guy remains in Omaha with Astrid. Sussie dies, Buffet marries Astrid.

my point being, Buffet still is Buffet.

hopes Jepsen life privacy is kept and they solved it backstage whatever they like.

Isn't Jensen on record as saying he won't do 1 on 1 meetings with employees? He seems like a run of the mill sociopath that runs off the work other people do

Was she over 18? Seems like a non-issue

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.

> Mr. Huang’s security witnessed the bystander with their phone and sequestered them, the people said. They made the person an offer to sign a nondisclosure agreement

This is not their first rodeo, is it? Wonder how much was offered? Did the person take it? ("hey, psst, we'll throw the latest GPU card on the table, how about now?")

Then, will Huang issue another, equally sincere, public apology to his wife about this other affair. He could have grouped them both into a batch for efficiency I guess.

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

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

Maybe it's in the contract that such relationships are verboten. But what if two consenting adults find themselves in a state of mind where they want to pursue a sexual relationship? Do they ask for permission? And to whom - HR? What if it's not granted? Can they temporarily resign for the duration of the encounter, and resume their previous lives?

He's trying to be a Japanese businessman from the 1980s.

  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.

Who gives a shit. They're both adults and can do or, more importantly, not do, what they want.

tbh if jensen is that prolific i wouldnt be shocked if lori huang knows and has like, made her peace with it.

Is the affair just be on surface like chitchat and dates, holding hands and kissing minus the Elon level of bed and babies? In the traditional western context you have to bed the women to consider affairs. Anything on surface is more like feminist definition of affair. Can anyone confirm the bedding part? Or even babies like Elon?

That would be crazy, to be booted out of your own company like this.

Perhaps his cousin can help him get a new job at a chip firm.

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

Maybe I'm too old and stupid but I'm less concerned knowing that the guy has a few mistresses. It makes it less likely that any of these ladies are tugging on his heart strings for the keys to his kingdom. Nvidia security is probably all over these affairs monitoring his communications, personal devices...

Well, there goes the productivity bragging he does about his nonstop work ethic and sheer number of direct reports.

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

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

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?

Everyone is completely indifferent to the white guys who visited Little Saint James, yet a boring affair gets treated like the biggest news in the world.

who up huangin' they jensen rn?

Michael J. Burry getting two for the price of one

that leather jacket is too powerful

Huang can't keep his wang in his pants. An absolute slam dunk case for his wife's divorce lawyers.

Will NVDA board give Huang a no-confidence vote before end of year, and give him the golden parachute?

Leave Jensen alone!!

The executive has denied the claims on X, so unless anyone has actual proof beyond all reasonable doubts (including AI), the show is over.

Where does one secure a black pair of jeans, tees and leather jacket? Asking for a friend.

She looks way more attractive than this spy girl. is this containment?
