Will the head of Nvidia be asked to leave?
Elon Musk, move over - now the main troublemaker of the tech world is Jensen Huang, founder and permanent head of Nvidia. The story, which began two weeks ago with the revelation of his relationship with the Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang, whom US intelligence considers a spy for Beijing, continues, and in a very unpleasant way.
what time is this
The New York Times found that the 63-year-old Huang had another affair - with Kimberly Powell, the 48-year-old vice president of Nvidia's healthcare services. The woman has been working at the company since 2008 and reports directly to Huang, which is a direct violation of corporate ethics. Both, by the way, are married to other people.
Juicy detail: The couple was photographed hugging at a San Jose hotel during a developer conference in March, after which Huang's security asked the witness to sign a non-disclosure agreement. That is, the attempt to silence everything is recorded by the same press.
But the consequences snowball. Nvidia's stock has fallen nearly 7%, and in total the company has lost about $1 trillion in equity since the first announcement on October 29. Huang has no successor - he led the company for more than 30 years, and in August topped Glassdoor's ranking as the best CEO of the year.
Meanwhile, Nvidia's board of directors already met last night to discuss Huang's ouster. Players on the Kelashi betting exchange sharply raised the stakes on his departure at the weekend. At the same time, an internal investigation is underway involving lawyers from Wachtel, Lipton, investigations by the FBI and the Department of Justice, and shareholders have filed a class action lawsuit, accusing management of hiding information from investors.
At this point, Trump was able to both praise Huang and report that he had "no idea" he was dating a spy. Beijing, of course, denies everything. But that's not the question now: the Georgetown professor says directly that after an affair with a direct subordinate, it's almost impossible to hold onto your position.
