Jensen Huang’s decision to resign from NVIDIA does not absolve him, other executives, or the company as a whole of responsibility for putting our national security at risk or for any potential violations of our laws.
They still owe Congress answers.

Multiple reports stated that when Trump received his second briefing about Jensen Huang's affair with a Chinese spy, he did nothing.
Turns out that is not true. Trump dumped a HUGE stake in NVIDIA stock.
He didn't warn Huang. He didn't order investigations into national security risks.

Q: Why didn’t Trump care about the Chinese spying?
A: Because … “At Mr. Huang’s urging, Mr. Trump allowed Nvidia to sell certain models of its chips to China under an unusual arrangement in which the federal government took 15 percent, and later 25 percent, of the revenue.”

Trump Had Urged Nvidia’s Jensen Huang to Fight for His Job
The president called the Nvidia chief on Tuesday, continuing a pattern of supporting him even as the spy scandal was intensifying.

Really looks like a glass cliff, though, with Colette being set up for failure. The stock price has nowhere to go but down from here.
“She’s extremely strong-willed, professional, and whip-smart.”

Needless to say, the just-announced resignation of Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang is a significant development given his key roles within the company and well beyond
Yet, far from concluding this episode, it is just one chapter of a bigger issue with economic, financial, and geopolitical repercussions...

oh I see why some people are predicting financial doom regarding Jensen's departure from NVIDIA. The new CEO, Colette Kress, was the CFO and has been opposed to circular financing deals. No more questionable free rides for datacenters and hyperscalers (that will make the AI grifters sad).

If Jensen Huang steps down, will we find out more about the deal with the Trump administration that allowed Nvidia to export H200 chips to China? Will he be willing/eager to talk?
