| I have seen a weird number of posts/responses trying to say "this isn't because he had an affair" and like, I guess it's not, it's that he had multiple affairs that have confounding effects on the business (with subordinates, with people who got chips to China). So no, it's not literally about his sex life, but pretending like that doesn't factor into the whole things seems like a very strange point for people to keep making. It may not be that 90% of the cause is "he had sex out of his marriage" but it's also not 0% (it surely doesn't make him a "good leader(tm)" if he's having sex with subordinates) |

| Another weird thing, and a TIL - people love the line about two ants. |

| Sex with spy of country actively tariffed and greatest active threat to US. Billions in tariff bypass. That puts you in jail for decades territory. People magazine cares about who he is banging. Legal and possible company nationalization care about bypassing tariffs. |

The monetary value of whatever transaction in question here is completely irrelevant. This is an export security violation. Still criminal, but not tax evasion or anything like it, and the monetary value holds no legal relevance - the number of articles themselves does. | |

| ▲ | elictronic a day ago | parent [-] | | Selling chips to China is pretty easily provable. Who cares what pussy he is diddling, it matters that such a large company might have their assets seized due to such blatant shenanigans. |

| ▲ | Eridanus2 a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | Did you mean rationalization? | | |
| ▲ | elictronic a day ago | parent [-] | | No. If Nvidia's leadership is incapable of abiding by US law they could have their company and assets seized. National defense makes this a much bigger deal than people seem to understand. |
