I mean... He is. He is known to comment on low level tech details. The idea that the CFO can replace him is ridiculous.
He's also known to give those low level details to foreign spies he's fucking. What a conundrum.
It seems very unlikely that he could give away any useful technical information.
He could have leaked some information about NVIDIA business plans, but it is not obvious why such information would have any importance for China.
More likely seems that the intimate relationship with an important customer ensured that he would not care about whether that customer does not observe the export restrictions for NVIDIA GPUs.
There is literally NO evidence of that.
And in itself doesn't make much sense, the most likely illegal scenario, if there is one, is just pushing more gpus into China and lobbying for it which Nvidia wanted already because money
what happened to „innocent until proven guilty“?
That's for crimes, not deciding whether people should be CEOs.
That much isn't known.
What is actually known is that Nvidia leaned very heavily on the Commerce Department around restrictions in selling to or business with Megaspeed, a Singaporean company linked to Alice Huang (she's an executive there), that had credible accusations of chip diversion.
If he's trading limited supply of product for favors, I can see why some might be worried for him to go away before delivering.
Except by "product", you mean industry secrets, and instead of "favors", well...
They are in full panic mode.
Nothing says innocent more than Elon Musk gathering behind you.
When did that man ever defend a guilty person?
Jair Bolsonaro, Tommy Robinson, Andrew Tate, Russel Brand, Donald Trump, "socialist" Hitler.
Now Jensen Huang is added to the the ultimate good guy list.
I would salute you Elon, but my arm doesn’t go up that far. Sorry.

Here are the tech allies:
- Shaun Maguire, a partner at Sequoia Capital
- Elon Musk
- Bill Ackman, the billionaire hedge fund manager
- the investor Gavin Baker
- Jason Calacanis, a host of /../ a popular podcast hosted by a group of venture capitalists
- Antonio Gracias, the founder of Valor Equity Partners
- Mr. Trump, too, has stood by Mr. Huang
Perhaps "tech allies" isn't the shared quality that stands out here.
With friends like that you really don't need any enemies
Trump support is confusing.
Trump is anti-China, except for when when he isn’t.
Probably on brand though, like supporting Russia while Russia provides support to Iran.
Huang gave him 28 million for the ballroom.
> Trump support is confusing.
Trump knew about this for a year and used it as leverage over Jensen Huang.
If you have someone compromised in this way, it makes perfect sense to support keeping them in their position.

@24:20 he is talking about Jensen pretty obviously.
Yes, it’s quite confusing, almost as if those people loudly shouting that he is a traitor who puts himself above the nation could be on to something.
