Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang admitted to an affair with one Alice Huang on Sunday; someone suspected of being a Chinese spy by US authorities. Trump has since spoken on the matter, saying he asked Jensen whether he knew she was a spy (he says he didn't) and offered words of support for his pal.
Trump told reporters, "I know the FBI is looking into it", and he said, "I think he'll [Huang] be in good shape." (via BBC)
Trump reportedly asked Huang if he had "any idea she was a spy", and Huang reportedly said he had "no idea."
Reportedly, Trump was given an indication that a Chinese spy was targeting Jensen Huang last year, and when a reporter asked if he regrets not acting on that briefing, he said, "No, I don't think so. I think he's an honourable guy. I think he probably has an excuse for it."
Trump seemed to express sympathy for the Nvidia CEO, whilst also bragging about how advanced the company's Blackwell architecture is.
"He's got a chip that's 10 years advanced… because of the complexity, the Blackwell can't even be copied".
Trump continues, saying, "He's an amazing guy. I just hope there's no problem. If there is a problem, we'll let you know about it."
This week has been a rough one for Nvidia, with a few hundred billion dollars coming off the company's value, and law firms circling, looking to get in on the cash flow. Law firms such as Rosen Law Firm and Schall, Brown & Schwartz are reportedly urging investors to cover losses by claiming Nvidia is guilty of false and/or misleading statements and a failure to disclose key information.
Nvidia had previously denied the romantic connection between Jensen Huang and Alice Huang (no relation) before the information went public. Nvidia also vouched for Megaspeed, which is a Singaporean data centre company that Alice Huang is reportedly connected to.
Megaspeed has also been accused of and denies claims of chip smuggling, which is a lucrative business in China, a country that lacks the very latest AI chips from American-based companies.
As is ever the case, it will likely be some time before we have all the details, but it certainly doesn't look great for the game company turned AI company in the interim.
