Occam's razor. We all saw the picture of Jensen signing the woman's breasts in Taiwan, his trademark leather jacket, etc. He very intentionally cultivated the rockstar CEO image. If your conspiracy is true (and I think it's much simpler than that), then Jensen was a huge flashing billboard saying to the world that he's absolutely down to be compromised.

> And I'm pretty sure Jenson resigning without a suitable, almost identical successor will kill NVIDIA

Maybe, but Nvidia bears responsibility for having such poorly de-risked corporate governance. It's actually shocking that the company propping up the entire AI industry (and thus the US economy) is led by a CEO with no COO and dozens of direct reports. Jensen thought he was invincible because he positioned himself to have total control of the company operations, which certainly didn't encourage him to think twice about making the mistakes he did. He acted out because he felt empowered to, and it's easy why.

My argument isn't that Jensen didn't do it - I have no doubt he had multiple affairs. He already admitted to the first one!

My argument is that the President of the United States raped children and nobody even talks about it anymore. So Jensen fucking consenting 50 year-olds and suddenly having the CIA outing him (after knowing about it for a year apparently), and every major media company calling for his resignation over it, before any actual investigations finish and over something seemingly neither illegal or particularly related to his work is weird.

> Occam's razor.

In light of the above, I would say Occam's razor is someone is trying to get rid of Jensen.
