Good question. In the case of Jack Ma, it was fairly obvious who wanted to punish him and why. In the case of Jensen, I hope we'll get to find out who's behind this.

I see 3 potential orchestrators behind this hit job/"leak":

1. A foreign state actor, adversary of US (like China)

2. Ideological fundamentalists, either:

- Anti-AI/anti-capitalism Marxist types

- People that want to see AI nationalized or brought fully under Government control

- Dem official (elected or unelected) that wants to bring down the economy while it's run by the other side

3. A "China hawk" type inside the current Administration that wants to use this scandal to push legislation to track by GPS all SOTA chips and have a remote kill-switch controlled by Washington

I think either option 1 or option 3 are more likely, will be interesting what we'll find out more in the next weeks.
