Nvidia I still have serious doubts about the real reason behind Jensen Huang’s fall. The truth is that extramarital affairs are culturally accepted in Silicon Valley, and the corporations are full of them. They damage the image, but they would hardly bring down someone like Jensen. So what was the real reason for Jensen’s fall? He had opened too many fronts, and he was right on several of them. One was his open advocacy against the chip embargo on China, arguing that it would boost the Chinese chip industry and cause the US to lose money and, in the near future, its leading position. He is absolutely correct on this point, and the same pattern has already been seen with other items recently. Another front was that Jensen was a strong defender and global financier of open-source AIs, and this bothered a lot of powerful people. Not to mention the part where the big techs started attacking Jensen, claiming that the chips were too expensive. In short, too many fronts, with very powerful people both externally and… internally. Just look at how much the shareholders profited from his fall.
