/ Blog / / Blog /It’s been a long week. I feel like the public knows a lot more about a CEO’s sex life than we all needed to know, don’t you? I know that sex is a juicy topic for gossip, but I think nearly everyone is focused on the wrong thing here.
People have called the woman from the first-revealed affair a “honeypot,” and him a sucker for falling for it. Though the spy narrative so far holds no water, everyone has been incredibly naive to think they would somehow not be susceptible to emotional manipulation in a spy situation.
This is not really about sex. It’s about trust between people. All of this is entirely about what else may have happened.
Did Jensen Huang reveal confidential information? Did he do anything illegal? Did he abuse his power?
None of the sex matters. If it does to you, that’s a moral conundrum for you to work out for yourself. Neither does it matter how many people he had relationships with. If all of it was consensual, the amount involved is irrelevant. And the only person the extra-marital aspect of it should matter to is his wife.
All of the concerns people have about whether or not he was leaking confidential information or abused his power could have happened without any of the sex or without him being married. This is not about that. And it truly sucks to have your sex life aired out in public like this.
What happened is this: The New York Times ran a story about him being targeted by a foreign agent in what amounts to a romance scam. The spy narrative appears to be untrue. We don’t even know if anything besides a relationship even happened. But everyone let the sexy spy story completely decide whether or not this guy should be the CEO of Nvidia. And the Nvidia stock tanked.
I dunno guys, this all seems pretty stupid to me. If you strip out any possibility that any part of this was espionage or illegal, you’re only left with that this guy had sex. And this suddenly seems pretty overblown.
