Jensen Huang founded Nvidia at the age of 30 in a restaurant chain. Thanks to the AI boom, the company rose to become the world market leader for powerful graphics processors.
Dusseldorf. In a message to his employees last Sunday, Nvidia boss Jensen Huang admitted an affair with the Chinese woman Alice Huang. In the past few days, the media had reported that Huang was said to have had a relationship with a woman who, according to information from US security circles, may have been recruited by Chinese intelligence. The world's most important chipmaker launched an independent investigation.
The founder of Nvidia was always celebrated like a rock star: leather jacket, relaxed language - a visionary who does things his own way.
After the affair became known, the Internet is now reacting with memes, ridicule and mockery. The Handelsblatt has compiled the first reactions.
His career was the epitome of the American dream: The then 30-year-old prepared the founding of the graphics chip manufacturer in a restaurant chain.
Since then, driven primarily by the AI boom, the group has become the world market leader for powerful graphics processors. “Jensen Huang is cooked,” writes a user on Reddit. A user took up the case of the tech CEO humorously by quickly updating his CV to “Chinese Information”.
AI outlook — possibilities, not facts
The independent investigation will provide results that will determine Jensen Huang's continued role at Nvidia.
