I bet Israel has long had information about multiple of Huang's affairs and was using it as leverage to get such a large investment by NVIDIA in Israel.
They do specialize in signals surveillance and remote phone hacking so it makes total sense for them to proactivelly target figures that control nations or very large companies with surveillance to obtain kompromat and thus leverage over them.
Specifically for Huang, having multiple affairs when he has been married for 40 years (since before NVIDIA became as big as it is) would make it very easy to blackmail him with proof of said affairs since his wife can take half his fortune if she divorces him, so a perfect weak link in NVIDIA's management structure.
The guy probably had his smartphone with him when he went to meet his mistresses and maybe even in the room when he was doing the deed and even if he didn't, one or more of the mistresses probably did.
I wonder if Israel pushed him into funny business like purposefully weaken or even backdoor NVIDIA products to facilitate Israeli surveilance.
