I just want every week to have a new affair. Like for the next 3 months I just want every week to have a new affair break for this guy. Please it would be so funny.

I mean if you ignore the gross power imbalance of him being a CEO and having sex with his employees. But it seems like everyone is when they're talking about that...

How does this guy have time or energy for 3+ affairs? Having one non-secret relationship is already my limit for thr amount of attentuon I have to give to people

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 4 points 22 hours ago

Seriously. I'm married (quite happily, FWIW), but that alone is more than enough to keep me busy for the rest of my life. Dealing with my ex just for custody reasons is a pain in the ass.

I don't know how these guys manage to juggle multiple women in secret. Not that I want to, it just seems way more stressful than it's with.

That would be the case if CEOs did as much work as their employees.

He's the sovereign, they're the courtiers. They're putting the effort in, he's just accepting or denying their propositions.

I posted this elsewhere but in the spirit of the season I'm going to do it again, whether or not my partner approves.

Where in the picture are you planning to put the next one?

The affairs don't matter. The real problem (and why he resigned) is that Nvidia has been selling GPU's to China through companies in Singapore despite strict US export restrictions. The asian woman he had an affair with had a company with her husband that sold these products from Singapora to China, which directly links him to the smuggling, something Nvidia has publicly denied ferociously all this time. Several key members of the US government have looked the other way (like Howard Lutnick), but might no longer be able to. If Nvidia was investigated it could seriously jeapordize a large amount of their oversea sales and could cause many issues domestically.

Remember that based on growth of Elvis impersonators in the mid 1980's we would all be Elvis by the year 2000. I mean it did happen but we scrubbed this from the history books.

Who cares at this point? I care more that they were investigating the spy thing a year ago and the trump administration killed it.

Edit: Article on subject: https://unwall.app/www.nytimes.com/2026/11/09/business/economy/nvidia-megaspeed-investigation-huang.html

[–] protist@retrofed.com 49 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes. This story has the potential to be huge. Now that all of media is aware of it, they're going to start pulling at threads.

Rough summary for others: Rubio straight up told Trump that Huang's girlfriend was a Chinese asset, Trump dismissed that and invited them both on Air Force One with him. Trump's old friend and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick also dropped her company, Megaspeed, off any blacklists or investigations, and Nvidia sold them chips. All this is happening at the same time Trump is bellowing about how we can't regulate AI companies for fear of Chinese competition.

[–] teslekova@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

This demonstrates, btw, how Trump is technically not a Russian agent, or a Chinese agent, or an Israeli agent... He is just very good at being bribed by organisations who bribe people for a living. You gotta bribe correctly, but if he's bribed, he is worth it.

CEOs seem to have way too much time on their hands

[–] how_we_burned@lemmy.zip 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Most CEOs i know are so sheltered from real work and operations. Everything feed to them is so filtered and curated, so many meetings about meetings and meetings about packs and reports, multiple pages of data being cut down to a single sentence under the pretence the CEO is so time starved that reading more then two lines would bankrupt him.

What i discovered in multiple companies were concerted efforts to keep the truth hidden.

And whatever reality got exposed was so massaged and shined that it was a mangled wreck of bullshit from the truth it was.

I did root cause for years and it was the same BS, all my findings and careful investigations hidden from the light of day.

Considering how many pictures this megaspeed chinese spy posted of her eating and drinking with Jensen I'd argue that most of his time partying and boozing it up.

The dude is worth $200b. He pays other people to work for him. When you listen to portfolio managers and other investments experts talk about why so much piled into AI it was revealed the uber rich spent as much time on their investments as i do wiping my ass. They made arbitrary decisions made on specious logic ie "hey what's this AI thing. Lets make 5% of our portfolio AI"

Wong is undoubtedly the same. So disconnected from reality.

I still think he is using this as an exit. Its a good excuse to leave and cash out without destabilising the AI bubble because it is clear Nvidia forced customers to buy chips they could neither had the space or power to use or even need ie Amazon spending $5b (incredible) a month through 2026 on Nvidia GPUs but has only activated a fraction of them.

Forced them by telling them would be locked out of future purchases of new generation of hardware if they didn't buy now.

Now under a crippled US gov (DOJ and SCC have had their teeth pulled) nvidia could easily get away with this. With the blue wave however Jensen sees the writing on the wall.

But if he exited now without a cover story he'd destabilise the market popping the AI bubble and he would be heavily blamed for trillions and trillions of dollars of losses (along with the magnificent 7). But especially him. Heads will roll.

So he exposes himself having an affair or two. He resigns with a good reason. He then cashes out and finds a deep hole to hide whilst the US economy collapses.

I hope his wife divorces him. Sure, he's still gonna be filthy rich, but we know how thesw billionaires are, they always want more. So, practically it might not hurt his lifestyle, but hopefully it will eat him alive, that he lost so much money he was simply gonna hoard. They are like fucking dragons.

What I'm gathering here is that CEO is a bullshit job that requires no effort because how do you have time to keep up with cheating on your wife with at least three different women??

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 day ago

He's run Nvidia for 30 years, pretty sure you can find a little time at least once every ten years

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 43 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Apparently his wife, who he met in college, was quite a successful electrical engineer but gave it up to stay at home and raise their kids.

And he repays her servitude with being a sleazy pos.

He could have had the decency to divorce her if he wasn't dedicated to their marriage anymore.

But obviously, he has no respect for the mother of his children. Or the woman that put her own career aside to help him succeed.

[–] teslekova@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 day ago

He's a CEO of a multinational. By definition, he is not a good person. Being a good person is incompatible with the role of CEO.

[–] tal@lemmy.today 20 points 1 day ago (9 children)

He did make them tens of billions of dollars. I think that from a purely financial standpoint, she probably did pretty well.

He's 63. Married for 40+ years...so since well before he was rich. Three affairs and counting. One with a Chinese spy.

[–] zabadoh@ani.social 25 points 2 days ago (9 children)

Too bad Jensen didn't live in France.

If a corporate leader or politician doesn't have a mistress or some other extramarital affairs, they're looked at with suspicion.

To be fair, that may be the natural order of things:

If you can afford it, why wouldn't a rich and/or powerful male have a harem?

[–] thisisbutaname@discuss.tchncs.de 27 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (9 children)

Morals? Respect for his wife?

Oh, wait, billionaire. Nvm
