Ok, Raise Your Hand If You Have Also Had Sex With Jensen Huang

Once can be written off as a mistake. Twice is a pattern. Thrice? Hoo boy. Reuters reported on Thursday that now-former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who resigned after reports that he had an extramarital affair with a suspected Chinese spy and carried out another inappropriate relationship with an executive, had an intimate relationship with a separate employee. If anyone else would like to step forward, now would seem to be the time, no? Huang resigned earlier on Thursday. Nvidia’s normally subservient board—long dedicated to Huang as the company’s valuation hovered around $5 trillion and their pocketbooks swelled—met Wednesday to consider his future following news of the second affair. The hardware manufacturer, whose GPUs are critical to the worldwide AI race, named Chief Financial Officer Collette Kress as interim CEO while the board searches for a replacement. Two sources told Reuters about the alleged third affair, although Reuters didn’t name the woman involved and said she could not be reached for comment. Notably, Huang’s public apology letter, which was posted after news of the first affair with the alleged spy, acknowledged he “was unfaithful to [his] wife” but did not specify with whom (or how many). Huang’s reported relationships with employees raise serious questions under Nvidia’s code of conduct, which warns against conflicts of interest involving personal relationships. They could also expose the company to additional legal liability if either employee alleges misconduct. Law firms were already circling like vultures above the tech titan on news of the relationship with the alleged spy alone, with several opening investigations into misleading denials issued by Huang and Nvidia. At least one, Rosen Law Firm, has already filed a proposed class-action lawsuit against Nvidia and Huang on behalf of shareholders in California federal court. The situation with the alleged spy, Megaspeed executive Alice Huang (also known as Huang Le), is potentially even worse for the CEO and the company. The New York Times reported that U.S. authorities suspect she is a Ministry of State Security recruit tasked with convincing Huang to lobby on behalf of more AI sales to China, buoying the country’s competitiveness in the AI race. Huang did, in fact, pursue the sale of more AI chips to China, and won concessions with White House and Commerce Department approval to sell less advanced H200 chips to select Chinese firms. In an odd twist, the Wall Street Journal reported that Alice Huang’s real husband, an obscure Chinese businessman named Kang Wei, appears to have known about and approved of his wife sleeping with Huang. The FBI is reportedly investigating the relationship, and while President Donald Trump has said he believes Jensen Huang didn’t know she was a spy, he took basically no action to help his beleaguered political ally. (Trump reportedly was briefed on espionage concerns twice and apparently never told Huang; the president has already suggested his other good friend, Apple chairman Tim Cook, should take over.) Members of Congress are already pouncing on the situation, and the former CEO has already agreed to appear before Congress. Howard Lutnick, the secretary of commerce, also seems to be under fire for his laissez-faire approach to the chip export situation, and reports suggest he may be in deep enough trouble to risk his “future” in the administration. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire, and boy, does it look like there are clouds still billowing out of the Nvidia building.
