It’s not about having a mistress. Huang is successfully controlling the narrative which is the actual shocker. Do people even realize Elon fucking Musk… exists?! You know, as in being a CEO of SpaceX and Tesla? The guy has more children with affairs than he attends board meetings and nobody ever cared.
It was never about that at all for Huang but about illegally smuggling hardware into China, cozying up to Trump and the Democrats subsequently sweeping the midterms. He fears for a harsh sentence under a different president so he wants this to be over quickly and get a pardon. It’s blatantly obvious he controls the narrative to different affairs as soon as people start asking the actual questions and it’s painful to see people falling for it.
Is he though? Public opinion doesn’t really matter and he’s already been summoned to testify before Congress about it.
Pretty sure the people that actually matter here are all about the illegal Chinese smuggling bit and not the sex.
Easy.
A CEO is accountable to shareholders. A president is accountable to no one (at least while in office, per SCOTUS).
Alternatively, the CEO affects investments; a president is the investment.
A crime syndicate depends on everyone being on the same page about quid pro quo and being okay with corruption. If anyone defects, then the syndicate fails, hence why anyone who has second thoughts dips out asap and usually quietly, lest they incur the wrath of the insiders.
Trump’s open crookedness is a beacon for other psychopaths that says, “Open for Business.”
Trade secrets being given to China means stock will inevitably go down, so this is about that and not really the adultery itself.
In both cases, it’s
profitgreed over morality.It’s because the CEO had a shred of decency; the president doesn’t.
An errant CEO can cost billionaires the value of their precious stock portfolio. Such a person must be fired. Fucking kids, however, can get many of them sent to jail; therefore all the other billionaire pedophiles must be protected so no one will confess who they fucked kids with… or ate them, or snuffed them, or whatever else they get off on.
Pretty sure a lot of MAGAts are also just pedophiles
It’s quite simple really: Trump has made billionaires a ton of money and his paedophilia has no ill effect on it. Huang’s affairs have cost billionaires a ton of money.
It’s never been about morals, just money
This.
Whatever you do, you should just follow the money.
this is an adult woman with agency who is probably a spy.
this is why they fuck children; it’s actually better for national security. does OOP just hate america and want the terrorists to win?
WTF would she spy out? Everyone and their dog is pushing flavours of AI. I’m not sure there are any proprietary secrets left to protect anymore. Just more theater. Now, if you want to be shocked by someone’s sexual activity, release the trump/epstein files! You’ll be amazed at exactly how disgusted you will feel if you knew.
Nvidia is by far the most important hardware producer for AI components, even AMD is barely worth mentioning as competition. They have truckloads of trade secrets for both their consumer and business grade hard- and software.
Currently China doesn’t seem to be able to compete on a technical level with nvidia. If they get these secrets then building up hardware production that outscales nvidia by a factor of ten would be pretty easy for China.
It’s not cheating on his wife that did in the CEO, it’s cheating on his wife with an alleged spy while also possibly being involved with chip smuggling.
Also, shagging your subordinates is a big no no in US corporate governance.
pfff, moralistic theatre
All the other billionaires are shocked and sickened by his inexplicable attraction to age appropriate women
this happened in hungary too lol, orban and his gaggle of authoritarians tried to bury our then-candidate pm with a scandal that he’s been having consensual sex with an adult woman
lmao
So that’s where the bar is, apparently
Wasn’t she still younger, just not underage?
He is 63. She is 49. Doesn’t seem too problematic for me.
Not sure about the second affair.
i think the problematic element of the second affair was that she was his direct report, not an age gap either
*sex offender
That’s not a correction, that’s an addition.
*pedophile
Investors are more keen than voters.
Normally the CEO doesn’t resign over a mistress, it’s that this one happened to be a spy. Stocks dropped, people lose money, heads gotta roll
I don’t understand this part honestly.
Isn’t anyone he interacts with a spy? As in, every employee, every girlfriend - all highly valuable recruitable assets for foreign powers and business competitors.
There is zero evidence that she was a spy. This is cold war era propaganda that we should really have learned to investigate by now. The source of this information is the US state which has provided zero hard evidence. Journalist are simply citing what the state told them. The evidence we do have points towards her being the head of a singaporean shell company used to sell computer parts in China through Alibaba. This is most likely a hit by the US state to take out a CEO who wasn’t doing what they wanted. He was skirting export restrictions and this is state sanctioned libel meant to remove him from a position of power.
So she’s not a chinese spy, just head of a chinese shell company to circumvent selling restrictions and sleeping with the CEO.
What would a spy do in your opinion?
Right?! I was laughing reading that.
Sure shes spyin, but can you really call her a spy? She was simply stealing national security secrets and getting round export controls for a fake Chinese company. Who amongst us has not done such things.
The term “spy” might be a little sensational here, but consider that these export controls are in place for (supposedly) national security reasons but also to limit corporate espionage. So maybe she wasn’t sneaking around in a ninja suit and planting surveillance gadgets, but if she was sleeping with him as part of a scheme to circumvent export controls then espionage may actually be the appropriate term for that AND it makes for sensational headlines.
Ooo, I dunno, she is the head of a Singaporean company that sells through Alibaba, open and shut case if you ask me. Definitely a spy, just like the thousands of other execs fitting that description.
The president doesn’t report to a board of directors
Yeah he does, it’s called the Senate.
This is an interesting analogy. A good corporate board would be vetting the C-suite similar to how the Senate is supposed to vet cabinet appointments.
There are definitely corporate boards (and senators) that fail to hold CEOs (and presidents) accountable.
I mean, we have laws that would’ve removed and jailed him, but half of the senate decided they prefer fascism.
Jailed? I’m not a proponent of the death penalty, but Trump has done like seven different treasonous things. America executes people over smaller shit than J6 all the time.
The president is supposed to report to a 300M-member board of directors
Nearly 350m these days
Sadly, around half (give or take a few percent, depending on recent developments) of this board seems to be just as corrupted as their president.
Even these midterms still saw millions of people voting for a continuation of this clusterfuck of (financial, moral and legal) corruption. Trump really is just a symptom of a much larger amount of rot.
honestly, the crazy part to me was the amount of both parties suck propaganda. like yes, they do, but voting for the one that sucks less is still mathematically the best choice. but i think a lot of republican-aligned “centrists” who couldn’t bring themselves to vote for this mess were terrified that the dems would come out to vote and tried to stop that.
We the people were supposed to be the bord of directors then they made corporations people and the people consumers.
No, “We the People” were never in charge. They convinced you that we were making choices, while keeping up the appearance of democracy. Then they lied about it when the oligarchs overruled us. They’ve just stopped pretending to care what we think.
