You’ve probably heard the recent news about Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia—the second-largest company by value on the planet.
Nvidia makes the chips that power the AI revolution. China wants those chips badly to catch up to the United States in AI development, but restrictions have been placed on Nvidia to protect US interests.
Huang resigned this week after it was revealed he was having an extramarital affair with a Chinese spy.
Also with an Nvidia executive and direct report.
Also with another unidentified Nvidia employee.
Huang is also an enormous financial supporter and confidant of Donald Trump. He’s donated tens of millions of dollars to Trump’s taxpayer-funded ballroom and his political campaign.
When the scandal broke, Trump told the press:
“I think he’s an honorable guy.”
If I were in the briefing room and permitted to ask Trump one question, it would be this:
“Which is worse? Cheating on your wife with three different women, including a Chinese spy, or cheating on your wife with a porn star and then paying for her silence with campaign donations?”
I might not be invited back, but I would love to watch him react to my inquiry.
