Connected. Complete lack of integrity.

If he cheats on his wife, and on his customers, he'll probably cheat on his shareholders. Hence having to quit before he's pushed.

Well - the situation with his wife or being unable to control his Jenwong or whatever one would call it, is still a private matter (the allegation of the spy situation is a bit more complex, but the other affair he had going, or at the least one, losing track here of his personal love life), is at the end of the day not really something that is or should be in the spotline for others, even though it has already generated tons of meme videos. People are very happily putting memes about the ex CEO right now - he is probably one of the top #3 meme people right now. The other day I saw where he approached two female podcasters; it suddenly had such a creepy vibe, given his weakness for females ... (though that was not a meme as such, just some seemingly accidental Jensen sneakily creeping in situation ... can't stop him zooming in on the ladies, apparently)

But customers having to pay more due to NVIDIA milking them - now that's something that really would require mandatory jail time for all NVIDIA folks involved here, IF true and verified in court (right now we can only speculate, even if we have extremely convincing proof; the courts would have to come to such a conclusion at the end of the day; and for this, the court systems have to work. I have severe doubts the courts work in the USA right now. It seems a billionaires-controlled court. Why is the whole Epstein network not investigated? Why is only Ghislaine in jail? A single person master-minded +5000 sex slaves over some 20 years or so? How is that even logistically possible?).

It’s the task of every capitalist business in existence to “milk” their customers for the maximum amount of money they can for any given product. Everyone in business would be in jail by your metric.

This isn’t true. The somewhat infamous court case that established this is a USA only thing.

Business are absolutely free to set as their task things like “long term sustainability”, or “quality” if they so choose

Sure, not all businesses, but just like the consumer social classes their is the same sort of heirarchy in business, the top n percentile including big tech, oil, large chains, etc, are absolutely operating in the milking game.

Yeah but that’s a choice. Not a universal law.

The society can easily change this simply by actually enforcing the anti-trust laws that are already on the books.

I'm not arguing the on-paper, I am saying in reality, it's not exactly looking all fair and even as intended; en contraire + it looks much the oposite.. in my opinion.

When capitalism is working as intended everything is covered in a layer of soot and 10 year olds are logging 60 hour work weeks

Not everyone, we just need to jail a few executives and the rest of them will get the message

Well that sounds hyperbolic considering “capitalist business” runs the gamut between “trillion dollar company” and “guy down the street doing this in his spare time”

The board told him to quit or else he would be fired. Make no mistake about it.
Re:Nvidia Allegedly Engineered Scarcity by Funding AI Startu... by bigstrat2003 on Saturday November 14, 2026 @03:45AM (#50495270)
Yeah. Literally any time a CEO "resigns" amid some negative news, it's a very safe bet that he was actually fired.
