00:00In the ongoing race to become the most unlikable tech CEO, it looks like NVIDIA's Jensen
00:05Wang is coming out on top after it was confirmed that he had an affair with a suspected Chinese
00:09spy. Reports of Wang's affair have sent ripples through the tech world. NVIDIA's shares
00:14were down 5%, which doesn't sound like a lot in isolation, but with NVIDIA's value
00:18sitting at $4.5 trillion, this loss counts for a lot.
00:22An independent investigation has begun to ascertain the potential impact on US national
00:28and economic security, but this shouldn't come as a surprise to the authorities. Given
00:32suspicion around the extramarital affair first arose in 2025, US intelligence agencies have
00:38been watching Singapore-based cloud computing company Megaspeed, the workplace of Jensen's
00:43alleged mistress Alice Wang. No relation.
00:46The New York Times then published an initial report on the affair this month, which Wang
00:50denied, but the CEO was then called to Congress to give a closed-door briefing about the incident.
00:55Wang is one of the most central figures around the AI boom. NVIDIA has gone from a humble
01:00gaming graphics card provider to one of the world's most important companies. The demand
01:05for RAM for data centers has driven up hardware prices across the board, resulting in price
01:10hikes on your favorite consoles, PC components, smartphones, and beyond.
01:14Now, we have seen leaders and CEOs lose their job for far less than this in recent years.
01:19Cast your mind back to last year to the astronomer's CEO allegedly caught cheating at a Coldplay
01:23concert, who was then swiftly removed from his post. At this current moment in time, it's
01:28unclear how the news will affect the ongoing RAM crisis, NVIDIA's leadership, or indeed the
01:33AI bubble. So, let us know in the comments what you think happens next.
