NVIDIA Announces CEO Transition

If you want somebody removed at that level, and you actually can, you can invent reasons. Jensen having an alleged affair makes it easier for them, and that's it. It's also probably less bad for Jensen that it's only an affair that Jensen is going out on, as invented reasons could be worse for him (like sexual assault allegation by three different women, for example). Just saying, I have seen it happen.

So you think there is no there-there with Megaspeed?

And you think he was stupid enough that he thought that these would never be caught?

Are you suggesting that Jensen planned to get caught?

Stop with the gaslighting. This was nowhere close to an "invented reason."

He fucked a communist spy and he admitted he did it.

Not only that, everyone in his orbit was running interference for months before that on a DIFFERENT affair with a subordinate[0]. Why was everyone covering for him if there really was some conspiracy to "railroad" him?

No, you misunderstand me. I am not saying it was invented. I am saying, had Jensen not provided an easy ramp, reasons could be invented. I have seen it happen.

I am saying it here:

> Jensen having an alleged affair makes it easier for them, and that's it.

The communist spy is the invented reason. There has been zero evidence presented that Alice Huang is a spy for the CCP, and if they did have evidence it would have been more appropriate to charge Jenson last year when the Trump administration was made aware of the relationship.

That’s not what that guy was saying; you’re taking hypotheticals literally. He was saying that even if he hadn’t had an affair or sold chips to China, a reason to oust him could have simply been fabricated if his rivals wanted him gone badly enough.

“Show me the man, and I will show you the crime”

I don’t think he was even making the case that his rivals were involved in this, only that if they really wanted him gone for advocating for open source models, it’s not like they needed this specific scandal to pull it off.

Trump worrying about someone else being compromised is a hilarious yet wholly unfunny irony.
