Jensen Huang resigns

What HN thinks

A trillion-dollar morality seminar where everyone agrees the GPUs were the real third party in the marriage.

Who he slept with is the problem
The affair itself matters less than that it involved an alleged Chinese-linked operative and a subordinate VP, creating national-security, conflict-of-interest and HR liability that the board couldn't ignore.
Export-control skirting is the real story
Some argue the affairs are a cover narrative and the ouster is really about Nvidia allegedly evading China export bans, with shifting political winds after the midterms removing his protection.
Private life is irrelevant to business
Others, often citing European norms or Trump and Musk, say infidelity is a private matter and that judging a CEO's competence by his marriage is puritanical or hypocritical.

Consensus: Most agree that sleeping with a subordinate and someone tied to a firm suspected of export violations was a severe lapse of judgment that made his position untenable, whatever one thinks of affairs generally.
