Nvidia: „Der Spion, der mich liebte“: So spottet das Netz über Jensen Huangs Affäre

Nvidia's founder and CEO Jensen Huang announced an affair with Chinese woman Alice Huang on Sunday in a message to his employees. Rumors had been circulating in recent days that Huang had been involved in a relationship with a woman, possibly recruited by China's intelligence service according to US security sources. The world's leading semiconductor maker launched an independent investigation.

The founder of Nvidia was repeatedly celebrated like a rockstar: leather jacket, casual language - a visionary who does things his way. After the affair became known, the internet responded with memes, mockery, and ridicule. The Handelsblatt has compiled the first reactions. From dishwasher to billionaire, his career was the epitome of the American dream: founding the graphics chip manufacturer as a 30-year-old in a restaurant chain.

Since then, the conglomerate, primarily driven by the AI boom, has become the world's leading manufacturer of powerful graphics processors. "Jensen Huang is cooked," wrote one Reddit user, humorously updating Huang's résumé to "Chinese Information."
