The guy has enough money to buy an island in French Polynesia and never leave it for the rest of his life. You are correct he is still human, but he can do pretty well at making a new life for himself where he doesnt have to ever think the word Nvidia again.

In 10 years he will have a new family and new friends and this will be a distant memory for him.

Yeah, it's just potentially a little light treason, what could go wrong

Yeah, pretty small potatoes compared to the current US president.

But the President is an untouchable. Huang isn't.

Trump will get away with everything he's done. Rubio, Vance, Kennedy and Hegseth won't.

Trump will pardon every one of those people on the way out.

They'll get indicted after he's left office.

I don't think it's been tested yet, technically?

Well, there's a first time for everything I guess. Trump can just pardon them in return for a bribe after all.

The current chair of the House Foreign Affairs committee proudly wears a foreign military's uniform on Capitol Hill, so probably nothing.
