I agree that this is a more likely explanation, given the AI arms race between the US and China. I think Nvidia lose more things by firing Jensen.

Screw him.
He put US national security at risk just because between his wife and his other mistress, he couldn't keep it in his pants.
There are some things more important than stock valuation.
> He put US national security at risk
It is far far worse than that - he lied to shareholders.
Possibly, I am a bit tired of the national security argument with hand waving vagueness. It’s generally unfalsifiable because details would be a national security risk. Meanwhile we have seen National Security concerns that were pure lies once we get sufficiently far past it.
> he couldn't keep it in his pants.
Or maybe he just simply wanted to make more money by increasing demand for Nvidia's GPUs by tacitly allowing for them to be exported to China though Singapore.

Or, he was right by advocating for letting China buy Nvidia chips to keep China dependent on US.
Yes you see there are various types of national security. For example, there is the national security when a country that touted capitalism and free trade for years suddenly finds itself beat at capitalism by someone else, that's a big national security issue.
This is the funniest thing to see it happen so blatantly. “National security”, what a joke.
> There are some things more important than stock valuation.
Given that the economic growth of the USA during the last few years was entirely due to this man and his technologies, I'm going to say nah.
China having access to GPUs is not a national security threat. It's an economic threat. Not sure why people treat China as some enemy nation. It's just a competitor.

Frontier AI may help China in a military conquest of Taiwan: their stated ambition.
If the Taiwanese are happy to sell chips to China, why do we care.

How exactly does selling a few billion dollars of GPUs to China threaten "US national security"?
