Some people still trust his leadership. Apparently they haven't seen anything that shakes their faith.
Which, given what we know so far, makes sense. Jensen's mistakes didn't jeopardize Nvidia's intellectual property, or lower sales overall. The business has no succession plan, has been led by Jensen for decades, and is riding a wave of ludicrous investments that have made the stock value soar. Many employees are probably afraid of losing a strong leader for something as nebulous as sanctions evasion.
What I've seen is 20% Jensen's fault (which he apparently owns up to), 30% the board's mistake for being so shortsighted, and 50% the governments fault for trusting Howard "Epstein's Next-door Neighbor" Lutnick with a role like Secretary of Commerce. If this entire hubbub is actually about sanctions evasion, then Jensen should be punished proportional to his failures instead of being turned into a useless scapegoat.
