oh come on, do people genuinely believe HR rules plays as a role here when it's regarding CEO, especially someone at the helm at the one of the most valued company?

Time and time we saw executives having affairs and dodging consequences. Elon Mask, Eric Schmidt, Sergey Brin, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos. All faced much less severe consequences. Definitely not something blow over like this just after a few days it's being reported.

This is a coordinated attack on Jensen and it was very successful.

At most companies it does. HP. Intel. McDonald’s.

The only consistent exception is Musk.

That said, I disagree this is why Jensen was fired. The national-security cover-up is a far bigger deal.

Those are just your average CEOs. Jensen is the founder and CEO of NVDA for 30 years and has been seen as one of the backbone of this AI era. No one at this level ever faced this level of scrutiny and consequence.

Even Bill Clinton faced relatively minor consequences, considering presidents should be held to a higher moral standard

Could be, but that requires time to investigate. Banging employee is different because the board would just have to ask Jensen if the reports are true.
