Mainly because the person he was having the affair with was a customer of the company and because they are reported to have possibly been a spy for the Chinese government. All of these things have a direct impact on the confidence of employees.

I’d imagine as with most big companies having a relationship with a customer is a big HR violation. So at least that aspect would have to be addressed.

I’ve seen founders fired and their equity forefeit for such conduct. This being a 20M / ARR firm.

Perhaps this is a too big to fail scenario?

I don't think it's too big to fail. Jensen is a billionaire who doesn't really need to work. This gives him a lot of leverage. He isn't desperate to make a living.

Imagine he is fired, unloads all stocks, and starts a new company. This would cause NVIDIA a bigger issue.

Also, this means Jensen would get to unload the stock at the peak.... Democrats won and is about to be way more responsible than Trump. Cue Luo Pei from Enron... the luckiest guy on the planet.

Dating a customer who isn't a big customer isn't really a big deal. Her being a Chinese spy isn't Jensen's fault. If anything, he is a victim.

He cofounded the company over 30 years ago. He isn't just a rich person with a desk job he doesn't care about.

Which makes it even more likely he’d start a competitor.

How would that even work?
