Why are you assuming your interlocutor is in favor of Elon or Trump holding their positions? If anything, one should assume he is consistently against all three men being in positions of influence.

fair, but I don’t see any other hot stories crashing a company over a horny CEO. funny how we bring in some moral high ground selectively. if we did this as a whole there wouldn’t be many CEOs or Presidents left in their position, no?

CEOs of Intel, McDonalds, Nestle all fell after similar things came to light.

all three had explicit policies that CEOs violated. if nvidia has the same the ousting should be straight-forward. though I am sure Boards will find loophole in the policy (e.g. "she was not a direct subordinate") if they want to keep CEO around

>> Under Nvidia's code of conduct, employees are instructed to avoid actual or potential conflicts of interest, with "personal relationships" specifically identified as a possible source of such conflicts.
>> The code applies to all employees and board members and provides for disciplinary action, including termination, for violations.

Doesn't matter if he is. He presents it as some kind of big issue that "No one of character can respect or trust him anymore", which even if true had almost zero impact for all other CEOs doing the same and worse.

Most CEOs are fired for this. There are some exceptions sure but there are always exceptions. In reality, an affair with a subordinate is an express ticket to getting fired in Corporate America.
