> bigger issue is the conflict of interest stuff

The no-going-back issue is the corruption. Jensen corruptly quashed an investigation into Megaspeed. He then quite clearly expected Republicans in Congress to back him, which is why he only came clean when forced to.

I agree the corruption and conflict of interest stuff is the real issue here and is serious. I’m just criticising the hand-wringing over him banging some random woman (or women, as it apparently turns out), as if that is some unprecedented or shocking behaviour or worthy of a reprimand on its own. Most of the world left that prudish shit behind in the ‘90s.

I don't care about it. But I do understand folks who are dismayed to see someone who many of us–myself included–saw as a bit of a paragon until a few weeks ago turning out to be a total shithead.

He was never a paragon.

Consensual and very tame. That's nothing.

Ok, I see your definition of paragon differs from mine, possibly depending on how much money the paragon has.

Apparently. I don't think that anything vaguely sexual is inherently immoral.

I’ll give you a shortcut for the future, and I will be downvoted for doing so.

Don’t look to billionaires if you’re looking for paragons. They all fail basic ethical checks. It’s very easy and convenient to not look for these failures. But, inevitably, when somebody starts looking hard, they find them.

Not a paragon but definitely a very capable entrepreneur.

I'm disappointed in him as a business person, not in a some moralistic sense but because he's clearly very smart and capable yet made himself vulnerable with these two dumb mistakes. In his position there are a lot of external interests who want leverage or control over you.

I think marital infidelity is shitty behaviour but I also think the main issue here is that this man in this job with this global significance thought this woman was safe to be involved with.

His board must think he's a lunatic. They have every right to know if he's having an affair with anyone (because marital infidelity is a personal corruption issue that is rarely not a problem when it's a CEO, since carrying off an affair usually involves suborning staff in some way). But this? Madness.

I don’t think it’s necessarily prudish, but in order to accurately judge it you need to know if someone’s ENM or not, and that’s more than most people make known about their personal lives.

Stepping outside of your marriage behind your spouse’s back is still scummy behavior.

"random women"

one was a direct report, one was a spy

Re:Nvidia Is Preparing to Oust Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang by vdomi on Thursday November 12, 2026 @06:39AM (#50465780)
can't get more random than that, i agree
Re:Nvidia Is Preparing to Oust Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang by ml-anon on Wednesday November 11, 2026 @06:30PM (#50460485)
"some random woman" who happen to be a) a foreign spy and b) a direct report. You absolute moron.
Re:Nvidia Is Preparing to Oust Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang by deathanatos on Wednesday November 11, 2026 @07:19PM (#50461060)
AFAICT, (b.) isn't correct? The alleged spy works for a Singaporean company called "Megaspeed"[1], and while there is a conflict of interest argument, perhaps, "direct report" seems incorrect.

There are reportedly two women. One is Alice Huang, who you mention, the other is Nvidia's VP of health care: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/11/11/technology/jensen-huang-n...

Re:Nvidia Is Preparing to Oust Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang by deathanatos on Wednesday November 11, 2026 @08:47PM (#50461962)
The article is paywalled for me.

Regardless of that, the comment above still seems correct, and a sibling comment points out that (as a rather new development), that they are separate women.

Re:Nvidia Is Preparing to Oust Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang by discordance on Wednesday November 11, 2026 @06:13PM (#50460311)
This sounds too reasonable.

Considering the current administration and the amount of corruption by trump and co, I feel like not following the rules is too simplistic an explanation for being targeted like this.

Not familiar with the details, I asked the ai overlords to gather up public evidence and give me a summary and... this feels like a very premature accusation. Unless you know something that isn't public, seems like we need to wait and see.
