If the shareholders will make the prices drop, I’ll allow it
I’m never quite sure just how nosy investors can get to be when it comes to a CEO’s private life. The spying is one thing and an apparent problem for government. But on their own, spousal issues are so widespread and diverse I doubt an investor should be too concerned about status changes. I don’t see how Nvidia can be affected long term by this.
Oh that’s too far? Not all of the circular financing and manipulated numbers. Or all the shady deals where customers don’t pay till long after delivery and delivery is postponed indefinitely, but we still count it as revenue and units shipped? That’s all fine, but we draw the line at him having an affair with a spy, that’s just going too far. Man this world sucks…
Ironically a very similar paragraph was written about Ethan klien and his fidelity.
Maybe we are truely in idiocracy the movie now, and only information related to sex, drugs, and death are what reaches majority of people. The one thing we pulled out of the esptine files is that they’re all pedos and the fact that they’re all running the world essentially is secondary to that fact and not as important as the sex part. And listen I’m not saying the trafficking of kids isn’t horrendous, but at some point the massive toll of genocided kids outweighs that.
Sometimes its just easier to ride the wave and let yourself reduce things to whatever catches on, and just try to latch onto that and move forward from there.
Now that the affair has happened, and is in everyone’s collective conscious now is your time to just add on as much shit as possible while eyes are on it. You have a week before the cycle fully dies off and we move on to the next thing. People will remember all that later and you have to build up the distrust everytime you’re presented with a narrative to work with. Next time Jensen Wong is brought up in a bad light people will pull from their memories and try to get some cheap blows in and bring up him cheating again as if its a meme. And if that’s the only thing they remember and they’re mad enough to be shit posting, that’s all I can really ask for. Ideally they go beyond that but you gotta work with what you got.
This isn’t about an affair.
Its about if Singapore was intentionally being used to sell chips to China given his close relationship with the woman who is a Chinese citizen and former executive at Singapore-based data centre firm Megaspeed. Megaspeed is also under investigation by the Singapore government for allegations of chip circumvention.
Then there’s questions of if sensitive information was leaked intentionally or unintentionally.
Jensen would be relieved if this was just about an affair.
This isn’t about export restrictions either, or really anything else actually. It’s just another opportunistic law firm that constantly sues companies every time their stock drops because they know they can probably get a settlement out of it.
Yes.
Jensen’s love life is his business, IMO. Nothing for me to judge.
But the story is the sex scandal though, and that’s all IRL people I’ve asked seem to know.
I feel like the sex scandal is being talked up intentionally to try and draw attention away from the actual serious implications of potentially illegal sales that bypassed US bans of certain hardware.
Maybe it’s just me but I think with Trump in charge, nobody with money and power is going to get any consequences.
I dunno about “intentionally.” That’s literally the sexy part, while export violations are less engaging to people (and outlets trying to farm that engagement). I’d posit it’s more of a “natural” focus for mass market news.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see NVIDIA themselves wanting people to be making memes about Jensen’s affair and make that the entire punchline if it leads to the public being unaware of the background details that could actually hurt the stock.
And makes it easier to just bribe the US administration to not investigate further, and not cause further uproar if export violations is something people are not aware of.
Companies have attempted to manipulate media over less trivial things like video game marketing. https://kotaku.com/trap-plan-marketing-astroturf-warrobots-fake-reddit-accounts-posts-2000642503
Yeah, I wouldn’t be either.
Honestly I thought the export restrictions were stupid nonsense anyway, so in this particular case if the DOJ looked away or he got a pardon or something, I could live with that. It’s still not okay for for someone like Jensen to just ignore the law, but that shouldn’t have been law anyway.
Regular people like us don’t get to use the it shouldn’t be law excuse. He’ll just bribe his way out unlike us who’d get the book thrown at our way.
No, we draw the line at number no longer going up.
