One affair always brings up other affairs out of the closet. Same rule goes for harassment and abuse claims.

That’s what is going on.

The better metaphor is "where there's smoke, there's fire."

Three different news orgs have reported the different affairs.

This happens all the time with news stories and doesn't require conspiracy theories. Once an initial story breaks, other journalists investigate (if they weren't already). No doubt Nvidia started investigating internally and employees will have leaked the findings.

There isn't really even any point in this third story from the point of view of any "coordinated attack". He's already resigned.

just to diversify this subthread a little, i actually do see the perspective: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50476972

tbf, these side affairs i think are more just people piling on

Correlation isn’t causation always. Once there’s a scandal, more people start digging, and the more they dig, the more they find. The news cycle continues rewarding more information, so you keep getting more.

Are you serious? He had multiple affairs is what's going on. Including one with a spy. And people who wouldn't be believed before are now coming forward.

There's probably some mildly interesting risk-balancing that happened behind the scenes because the intel community apparently knew mid-2026 and only spilled the beans now, but this is entirely of Jensen's own doing. He confessed.

He clearly is a top performer, though, managing four-plus relationships is a big job.

A lesson, apparently, for everyone asking "what the big deal is".

If ever you wanted to understand the meaning of the word "liability", here it is.

"Coordinated hits", as you put it, have as their prerequisite the creation of a "liability".

Journalism plus circumstances loosening tongues and reducing the downside of being truthful.

As the British police are fond of saying in cold case appeals: allegiances shift.

I am reminded of the tv series "the shield". When it ends, our guy is asked "what all do you have to declare". I am paraphrasing.

Pretty sure the board asked the same question. Having finally been called to do their work, they can't just close the books without asking "what else do you have to declare" to both Jensen and at least all the direct reportees. And if there was a declaration, you can always find someone to leak it to the media.

Not saying that happened, just saying that it is likely such direct questions were asked and answered last few days.

A serial adulterer is revealed to have adulterated serially, and SV types are spilling oodles of ink attempting to justify loose morals and bad decision-making so long as it brought increased shareholder value.

Dont mess up with the intelligence community. He should have talked more to Jack Ma.

journalists pumping their sources

It's weird, right? You see the same thing in police investigations. Oh, they know some things early, then, later, release more information? We're not that dumb.

When a real scandal happens, everything we know or will ever know gets dropped all at once. Anything else and you know someone is pulling the strings. The question is who? My money is on the arrow of time.

Entrapment, they (FBI, whatever) knew about the "spy" and yet didn't go like ... "Hey Jensen, we gotta tell you something..." Pathetic.

As it turns out, Huang was a fallible human being.

>> What's really going on?

A shell game. This is the distraction portion. Then comes the switch, the reveal and the swipe. Watch the market indicators. Nobody buying and selling shares in a trillion-dollar company cares one iota about extramarital affairs. Something else is happening.
