The Chinese Internet is mourning the loss of Nvidia’s ‘soul,’ its former CEO Jensen Huang
Jensen Huang resigned on Thursday after a string of reports emerged about his extramarital affairs, and the Chinese internet is sad about it.
Nvidia's former CEO, Jensen Huang, has resigned following reports of his extramarital affairs. This has led to a wave of disappointment and concern on Chinese social media, with many mourning the loss of Huang's "spirit" and influence over the company. Huang, a Taiwanese-American figure, had long been a fan favorite in China due to his frequent presence at tech events and fluency in Mandarin.
However, with his resignation, China stands to gain as the company's stock price has plummeted. The scandal could potentially impact the ongoing AI race between the US and China, with China's AI accelerator companies and Taiwan's custom-ASIC designers potentially benefiting from increased investor interest and demand for alternative hardware.
