Quick Summary

This opinion piece analyzes the ousting of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, arguing that while reports of his multiple affairs with employees and a third unidentified person have surfaced, these personal scandals are not the primary reason for his removal. The author notes that while the U.S. Department of Commerce implemented export controls on advanced chips like Blackwell Ultra and Vera Rubin in October 2022 to protect national security, a suspected underlying scandal involves Nvidia potentially illegally facilitating the movement of these chips into China. The narrative suggests that the reports of Huang's personal life may simply be a distraction or a secondary detail to a more significant corporate investigation into illegal smuggling networks or the exploitation of legal loopholes to bypass trade restrictions.

Story summary

Jensen Huang, the 63-year-old founder and former CEO of Nvidia, has resigned from his position following an admission of an affair with Alice Huang, a woman whom US intelligence reportedly suspects is a Chinese spy. The scandal became public after reports from The New York Times and The Financial Times detailed his relationship with Alice Huang, leading Nvidia’s board to launch an independent investigation assisted by outside legal counsel. While Nvidia stated it had no reason to believe US national security or company secrets were compromised, the board reportedly moved to oust Huang as a result of the foreign intelligence allegations. Following the news, Nvidia shares plunged by 8% in a single afternoon of trading. Reports indicate that Huang misled company leaders, including general counsel Tim Teter, regarding the true nature of his relationship. Furthermore, US Congress committees have requested that Huang testify at a closed-door briefing regarding Nvidia's security protocols against foreign adversary espionage. Huang and the company face potential subpoenas to appear for transcribed interviews scheduled for December 1 and December 2.

Was there evidence of Nvidia chip diversion?

Evidence: An executive at a Singaporean firm call Megaspeed, which was a customer of Nvidia, Alice Huang is suspected of funnelling billions of dollars of Nvidia chips through to Chinese AI firms, circumventing a US ban on sales to China.

No evidence: Last year, Megaspeed was accused of illicitly shipping advanced Nvidia computer chips into China, but in December said there was “no evidence” of such exports.

So despite the fact that there are reports that he wasn’t just sleeping with an alleged Chinese spy, but he was sleeping with a member of the company — the vice president of health care, Kimberly Powell — but also a second employee. asserted
he → be → care
That isn’t the real reason he is being ousted from Nvidia. asserted
he → oust → Nvidia
And herein lies the mystery, the scandal, and the fallout. asserted
mystery → lie → ?
Why exactly is Jensen Huang gone? asserted
Huang → go → ?
Because again, if this were just about Jensen’s dong, then we wouldn’t be talking about him. asserted
we → talk → him
According to Bloomberg, Huang is walking around literally saying, “I’m a piece of sh*t,” which is a little performative. uncertain
which → accord → sh*t
Huang has said he doesn’t care what happens to him at this point. asserted
what → say → point
His main concern, he says, is his wife and not ruining the lives of the multiple women now romantically linked to him in the public imagination. asserted
he → say → imagination
Because again, we all know if this is just about people cheating on their wives, unfortunately, it happens all the time, and it doesn’t make front-page news. asserted
it → know → news
The number one possibility is that Nvidia was illegally facilitating the movement of its chips into China. asserted
Nvidia → facilitate → China
That is a very rooted suspicion that a lot of folks have, and that the story of him sleeping with a Chinese spy is merely popping the lid on that story. asserted
him → have → story
CBC News has now reported that in October 2022, under the Biden administration, the Department of Commerce implemented export controls on advanced computing chips going to China. asserted
Department → report → China
Nvidia’s Blackwell Ultra and Vera Rubin, both GPUs used for AI models, are blocked from being sold there. asserted
Ultra → use → models
The U.S. government has two main reasons for blocking these sales. asserted
government → have → sales
Apparently, soon after advanced chip restrictions to China were implemented, many vendors set up illegal smuggling and an underground network to get the chips into China and sell them to companies there, according to Germany’s Deutsche Welle news agency. uncertain
vendors → implement → agency
The U.S. Commerce Department’s enforcement arm is allegedly understaffed to enforce the restrictions. uncertain
arm → enforce → restrictions
Now, a legal loophole is sometimes exploited to send chips to China. asserted
loophole → exploit → China
Nvidia can’t sell its most advanced chips directly to China, but it can sell them to other countries. asserted
it → sell → countries
Third-party data centers can then rent access to those data centers to companies affiliated with China, so Nvidia could sell the chips to a company that then rents that computing power to a Chinese company. uncertain
that → rent → company
Two: it could be that his business sense tells him selling to China is better for Nvidia, because the more clients you have, and the more people in competition, the more people will buy your chips. uncertain
people → tell → chips
That doesn’t mean he despises the country or is a traitor, but it does mean his self-interest certainly coincides with his political viewpoint. asserted
interest → mean → viewpoint
Well, here he was with Dwarkesh Patel, talking about why we ought to sell chips to China: asserted
we → talk → China
Why is it that we don’t come up with a regulation that’s more balanced so that Nvidia can win around the world instead of giving up the world? asserted
Nvidia → come → world
Why would you want United States to give up the world? asserted
States → want → world
It’s part of American technology leadership. asserted
It → ’ → leadership
It’s part of the AI ecosystem. asserted
It → ’ → ecosystem
It’s part of AI leadership. asserted
It → ’ → leadership
Why is it that your policy, your philosophy, leads to United States giving up a vast part of the world’s market? asserted
States → lead → market
That is a gigantic mistake to be shipping sophisticated microchips to China. asserted
That → ship → China
And even Jensen had to take the public position that the most sophisticated microchips ought not be sold to China. asserted
microchips → have → China
So if he really believes that there’s no threat at all, we should just be selling all of the most sophisticated chips to China. asserted
we → believe → China
In any case, whether the chips were illegally passed with Nvidia’s tacit approval, or sold to a company that then sold them to another company that then sold them to China — whether any of that has to do with this alleged Chinese spy having an affair with Jensen, the mystery is growing, not shrinking. asserted
mystery → pass → Jensen
As the Wall Street Journal reported yesterday, as recently as the summer of last year, Singapore, the home of Megaspeed — the firm that was run by Alice Huang, who is the alleged Chinese spy who was sleeping with Jensen — was officially one of Nvidia’s biggest markets, generating 22% of the chipmaker’s revenue. asserted
who → report → revenue
…and 22 more, not listed.
