Former Nvidia CEO Huang had a relationship with a second employee, sources say

If you find two ants in the kitchen, there are more than two ants in the kitchen.

There's this little part of me wondering if this was all known about for a long time, and the sudden release of information about all three women is coordinated for some nefarious business reason.

I always got the impression that it was somewhat of an open secret that most billionaires had soft harems of sorts, usually tacitly understood but never publicly addressed, and that the apparent outrage at affairs/scandals at this level is a sort of charade of allegiance to social norms to enforce the facade that standards of propriety apply even at the highest levels.

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

"I want a man with a short shirt, and a Huang jacket"

I hope that the people he had affairs with are treated ok and not retaliated against or hounded by the world news media.

I wonder if he followed a modern trend and was on TRT, it seems like a pattern for celebrity/powerful men of age these days: get on TRT, get in shape, cheat on your wife.

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.

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

feel bad for his wife man, has to be rough to keep seeing this

TIL: True monogamy only appears in 3-5% of mammals in the animal kingdom.

When you see two ants in the kitchen there's likely many more.

Huang has been a great boss and steward of Nvidia, but ultimately falling for subordinates is grave enough, adding alleged Chinese spies, and allegations you sold Tencent billions of hardware through shady Singaporean companies for which the alleged spy worked etc and the board had no other options.

At this point it would be surprising if what we know is likely a small part and the Nvidia board saw enough very quickly to ask for his head.

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

At the current rate of disclosure Huang is going to be revealed to have had an affair with every woman in the world by 2038. It’s vital that we build out infrastructure to support this if we don’t want to be left behind.

At least we’ve now passed the tipping point where the majority of affairs are domestic. Some country out there is going to achieve HSM (Huang Second Marriage) and it’s vital to future prosperity that we make sure it’s the US.

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

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

Might be quicker to start asking which Nvidia employees he didn't sleep with.

One affair is a scandal.

Two affairs is a pattern.

Three affairs is just funny.

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

Parallel execution in action

Amateur. Tiger Woods had at least 9 extramarital affairs.

Now that he is the former CEO, why does it matter and why is the news cycle still hyper fixated on him?

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.

Who gives a damn who he is having an r-ship with. It's 2026.

Parrots another article - even w ", Report Says" as the end of the headline.

The original article is from Reuters, partially written by this woman below whose history is all Washington stories then bam 4 articles on Nvidia and tech.

Appears to be manipulated news (which we're used to), story is real but should be seen through that lens - why?

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

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.

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?

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

At how many $billion of market value should a board just figure that it's a cost of doing business to hire retired spooks to keep track of the CEO's personal life, and ensure that he has a pipeline of well-paid, background-checked, NDA-signed mistresses available to divert his eyes from the employees and spies?

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

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

These AI slop chinese soap-operas are so good...
