I had a feeling something damaging would happen to him sooner or later. My prediction was sometime before mid 2027.

My reasoning was that that he had become too powerful while largely avoiding politically charged positions, or other "stuff" that can be used to "control" him.

The political and intelligence establishment doesnt particularly like powerful individuals who remain politically independent.... outside of their control.

I knew things would go wrong when I saw the bra signing https://mothership.sg/2024/06/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-signs-...

Unrelated, but it's a nice signature.

This explanation actually makes more sense. He was even invited to EU, ASEAN Goverment etc more often than any other elected individual or powerful figures.

That is why ancient wisdom said you should keep low profile if you are super rich.

I hope Jensen can get through this.

Huang has had a noticeable shift in personality over time not unlike people such as Musk and other super rich. It doesn't take any external influence to cause bad character.

So many people here think character doesn't matter but it has now caught up with him as much as it has for Trump.

For years he was in the same anti-human AI hype club way too similar like Altman and he thought no consequences can catch him... it really doesn't take any conspiracy here. Everything he has chosen was all his doing.

Musk is known for his ketamine habit. Maybe Huang uses something as well. Those high-powered careers are conductive to becoming a junkie. "The Wolf of Wall Street" exaggerated a bit, but not too much.

And to bolster your point, people like Huang are surrounded by yes-men constantly. When you are a nobody, people criticize and keep you in line. Once you're running NVIDIA, people want power/money themselves, so they will tend to grovel and supplicate. Eventually, even the humblest begin to believe their own PR.

Those are "external influences", but your own gravitational field has warped them. Even the president wants your money and influence, and needs your company to do well, there is literally no one who will "give it to you straight", and it warps your mind.

The Roman commanders would sometimes hire someone to stand behind them and remind them they were only human for this reason (to avoid natural hubris), it was seen as naturally arising in these circumstances, and needed to be combatted to remain effective.

Politically independent? Jensen is not politically independent.

Remember, the golden rule in evaluating the pervasiveness and persuasiveness of conspiracy theories is measuring their frequency in the real world! The internet is the only place where conspiracies spread by people who want to spread conspiracy theories can operate at scale.

This is an awfully generous characterization of the situation.
