Frieren | on: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's letter to staff about affair
Defending a man cheating his wife because you probably have shares on the company is a great example on how messed up the world is.

A world in which Kings rule, and peasants defend their depraved way of life.

I really hope that you are a bot from a PR firm, because it his hard to image people being so servile to power.

I don't see how or why whether someone "cheated" their spouse would be at all relevant for anything, or to anyone other than said spouses. Caring about this, like if that was somehow important to fixate upon, is disgustingly sick. Have some morals

It's relevant because he's the CEO of one of the largest US companies that makes export-restricted, highly-coveted tech with military applications.

Because it's a matter of national security.

And because he deals with foreign governmennts and should know better being of Chinese origin that the Chinese are known to use such honeypots?

It does have shade a light on someone's moral compass and violates trust in the individual. If you break promises given to your partner of choice then you are going to break any promise period. Especially since you only apologise after you've been found out.

How do you know what promises they gave to each other? Maybe they're freaky.

Because his own letter clearly admitted that his behavior toward his wife was wrong and not up to her / his expectations.

It's a PR statement for a country that is generally conservative about these kinds of things. Could be true I suppose.

Why would he apologize if they weee in an open relationship?

Come on, think before you comment

You're not commenting on an apology from him to her. You're commenting on an apology from him to you.

It's a public document; the reasons he published it aren't even likely to include whatever relationship he has with his wife.

> I don't see how or why whether someone "cheated" their spouse would be at all relevant for anything,

I am not talking about the news. But about the people defending the cheating.

The news are not that he cheated but he cheated "... with a Chinese spy". And the post is not even about the news but an official release from Nvidia!

I do not even know anymore what is your point? Are you just asking people to stop caring about what billionaires do? Are you trying to protect the image of a billionaire for some weird reason? I do not get how do you fail to just read the news or the actual press release from Nvidia.

How about it's none of our business what happens in other people's bedrooms. For all we know his wife was fine with it or maybe she wasn't. Either way, not my business.

If she was, he wouldn't have apologized, he would have defended his open relationship.

Because that worked so well for Charlie Sheen?

It also worked well for Bill Gates.

He'll do exa tly what his pr company will tell him. 1. Admit guilt, 2. Apologise 3. Casually mention the thing most people are concerned about. 4. George Carlin script to follow...

This is a great example of someone not reading the article but commenting. RTFA.

Exactly. Downvotes on your comment just proves your point.

OC says Huang is a victim. For real?

Owner and CEO of a TOP 3 company by market cap.

At that point he's not a private person, his actions have global consequences (his wife, kids most likely still are private persons, that's true, but I don't know about them).

He's in an incredible position of power against the majority of world leaders, but he's apparently "a victim" in an eyes of HN oligarch apologetic crowd?! Because he was allegedly seduced by Chinese spy? What in the sinophobia and oligarchophilia is this?

If Huang wouldn't be of ultra-billionaire class and the woman would truly is a spy - he would be in prison for treason in a heart beat. I can bet - nothing will happen and by next Monday this all will be forgotten, washed by best PR firms he can buy.
