Screw him.

He put US national security at risk just because between his wife and his other mistress, he couldn't keep it in his pants.

There are some things more important than stock valuation.

Possibly, I am a bit tired of the national security argument with hand waving vagueness. It’s generally unfalsifiable because details would be a national security risk. Meanwhile we have seen National Security concerns that were pure lies once we get sufficiently far past it.

Or, he was right by advocating for letting China buy Nvidia chips to keep China dependent on US.

How exactly does selling a few billion dollars of GPUs to China threaten "US national security"?

Yes you see there are various types of national security. For example, there is the national security when a country that touted capitalism and free trade for years suddenly finds itself beat at capitalism by someone else, that's a big national security issue. Then suddenly free trade is evil and a danger and a national security issue.

Given that the economic growth of the USA during the last few years was entirely due to this man and his technologies, I'm going to say nah.

China having access to GPUs is not a national security threat. It's an economic threat. Not sure why people treat China as some enemy nation. It's just a competitor.

It is far far worse than that - he lied to shareholders.

Or maybe he just simply wanted to make more money by increasing demand for Nvidia's GPUs by tacitly allowing for them to be exported to China though Singapore.
