> suspect they will be investigating how easy it is to honeypot him

They should be investigating two and only two things: if he knowingly lied to the Board and if he corruptly colluded to suppress the evidence of any government’s investigation into Alice Huang.

If the answer to both is no, he is a man who got duped and compromised America and Taiwan’s national security in the process. Still, probably, a great founder and CEO.

If the answer to either is yes, he should resign, personally indemnify the company against shareholder lawsuits, and switch focus to defending himself against criminal charges.

I disagree. A lack of candor or active deception are certainly disqualifying, but dangerous naïveté or a lack of discretion with respect to company secrets and devices is just as bad.

It can be mitigated. Lying cannot.

In case you don't remember we had a US President who lied under oath about having an affair and it was no big deal.

It would've have been a bigger deal if Monica Lewinsky was a Russian spy.

That also lead to an impeachment, kind of a big deal.

I guess it depends on what your definition of "was no big deal" is.

absurd claim with zero evidence to support it. if there was any evidence that he actually compromised US national security he would already be gone. there isn't even any evidence that the woman is a Chinese asset. that is just speculation from whatever felons leaked their illegal surveillance of a US citizen's private life.

It's likely the story coming out like this is the best mitigation they can come up with, if AI is a national security interest of the US and he's granting a Chinese asset access to said interests. He's already conspiring with a foreign government against the interests of the US.

That he's extremely visible in his role is probably the only reason he's still around, until next week or whenever. The US doesn't vanish prominent CEOs like that, that's more a China thing.

The stock is massively up under his leadership. Firing Jensen would cause a massive loss of personal wealth to everyone on that Board. You don't even want to announce an investigation like this unless you're personally scared of getting implicated in a potential cover-up.

Oh my, that’s quite the confident response. Do you have any particular info on this that I’m missing?

okay that's a joke in this administration right, the sitting American president is a threat to American national security and they made a woman who took private trips to Assad the Director of National Intelligence

Re:Nvidia Board of Directors Is Investigating Jensen Huang by throwawaythekey on Sunday November 08, 2026 @04:47PM (#50417662)
The same Assad government that Trump and allies then helped to overthrow and replace with a group that was officially designated as an alias of Al Qaeda?

The admin definitely stinks but Tulsi is one of the cleaner ones.

Seriously? Our intelligence community and corporate governance is just operating in perfect shape right now?

Lol got it.
