What’s the angle here? He made a ton of money for his shareholders. Including by lobbying for allowing sales to China as well as closing his eyes while different firms were smuggling GPUs. Why would the board get rid of him? This whole thing looks really unusual.
I think the smuggling and the general desire to continue exporting to China is the key here, and that Alice Huang being a spy is bullshit. I think she’s a chip smuggler, something that the Chinese state has been trying to curtail, because it wants to develop its own domestic chip industry that’s no longer depended on Western chip manufacturers. That’s why millions of NVIDIA chips are currently quarantined at Hong Kong ports.
I think this is a fight between two factions of big capital, one that wants to constrain China and another that wants to continue profiting from China.

Do you think that fight is being expressed in this NVIDIA-internal hullabaloo about investigating and potentially Huang? I feel like the capital that wants to constrain China wouldn’t be invested in NVIDIA and would do it through the state apparatus.
It is doing it through state apparatus, for example through “anonymous” CIA sources baselessly accusing Alice of espionage and exposing their affair. And they’re doing it behind Trump’s back, because Trump & Jensen have had a chummy relationship.
For sleeping with an executive that reports directly to him. Comments I’d take with a grain of salt implied she might have attained her position by sleeping with Jensen.
You aren’t wrong though. It’d be stupid to fire him over the smuggling thing, as long as the DOJ isn’t pressing charges either.

most of the epstein class wants to choke off china like they’re doing to cuba atm and huang is very inconvenient to the rn because of this – it’s not an accident that he suddenly can’t be in the room w trump and jinping because he’s been summoned to testify.

Empire doesn’t want this very valuable asset outside of their control. Huang didnt have ultimate loyalty to their regime.

This is exactly China’s plan. As much as capitalists hate communism they love profit more. It’s genius tbh.

Isn’t the company Huang’s? Doesn’t he get to decide what company policy is?
